An Allianz road sweeper can be found cleaning ship’s cargo holds, quarries, cement plants, construction projects, universities, zoos and private communities. Besides sweeping city streets and highways, our road sweeper can be found on airport runways, cleaning coal dust from railway tunnels, collecting litter and hazardous materials in landfill sites and access streets. They clean royal palaces, racetracks and stadiums. Our road sweeper machines can be found working behind milling machines, in sawmills, smelting plants, coal docks and just about everywhere else you could imagine. In fact, from Alaska to Argentina, from Moscow to Mexico and in virtually every country on earth, Allianz road sweeper machines are hard at work.

A SPINNING WHEEL IS NOT A WHEEL OF FORTUNE

Sac of facts distended
mar as much marigolds
closer in season to winter:
internal snowy waves
narcoleptic as tv static
buzzing out sole reason
yet preventing sleep
with the wet newsreel
of the day’s events
replayed in minutest detail:

a wheel-of-fortune ablaze
on the side of a dark road
where a man goes alone
to lose himself thrown
skimped and exaggerated
in funhouse mirrors
and among new loves
blooming blushing under
cotton candy, finding
himself rickety with want
and lament instead.

Stuck in a metal car
cycling the cycling moon
too forlorn to swoon
or sleep for minutes
that stretch into sandbars
or light years in turning,
a grayness that might require
prescription pills to blot.

HOLIDAY

On airwaves, feigned faces sell
dental floss, stimulants in capsules,
geriatric aides, disposable blades,

an opprobrium of leather and lather.
Execs on a boardroom broadloom
stitch the sounds of glossolalia:

threads of jingle hemmed in scheme
to brand the comet, market fizz,
deprive the noon of pimply faces.

Diapasons spun on monitors outfit
the eye in polymerized angoras—
implants, enamels and radial belts—

while seamlessly the acquisitive eye
tailors its tailor’s worldview
to be worn everywhere like a veil.

Leaden attention to razzmatazz.
pack the rental, head for live hills,
disembogue a stream of elan vital.
