Rhode Island

My skipping car pulled off the turnpike’s veins
  And dripped into a rural residence
  The downtown felt my trespassing presence
But didn’t bustle snub me or complain
I met my cousin by her neighbor’s drains
  Our quick embrace confirmed her poor patience.
  “And isn’t this as close to Providence
As I will ever be?” was her refrain.
I still don’t feel like a colossus much
  Even this day, but when I think of all
The people I will save from Death’s cold clutch
  And see her smile’s shadow slowly crawl
Across her face as she revealed the touch
  She shares with death, I don’t feel small.
