The Corner Witch The witch hangs out at the gas station outside of town, dropping thick clouds of smoke from a red-eyed cigarette. She leans against the building, one army boot planted upon asphalt, one angled back upon brick, watching through mirrored aviators and over-bleached bangs as travellers swipe cards, pump gas, and peel out onto the highway. She ignores the town kids slamming down bikes on the sidewalk beside her, eager for evening slushies. They are not here for her, though their eyes

and bustle for such a small town corner gas station. A sandy shade of tan with red trim. With the main part of the building mostly made of cinder blocks. A drab basic building nothing flashy it's been here for years. Yet it seems busy all the time. I've known this place for years it's always been a center of the small community. Probably about 20 or 30 vehicles in the parking lot (which seems like a lot for this small community). On one side of the station two double-sided gas pumps that service only

The Importance of Gasoline As the driver pulls up next to the gas station to fill his car up with gas, he sees a small piece of paper with writing on it taped to the old rusty gas pump.

Ezra Pound's In a Station of the Metro Before this week, I had never read any poetry by Ezra Pound. I noticed immediately that many of the poems are very short. "In a Station of the Metro," for example, is two lines. In the essay "Imagism," the second rule of imagistes is said to be "to use absolutely no word that did not contribute to the presentation."
