Hopper AV-11
The leading edge arrives late. Dust makes it later.
A high rail is a prow: camber that looks athletic until Palmdale dirt asks the front of the sole to wait.
We flatten until the prow shuts up. We do not flatten to a letter. If the player also leans in valley wind, Jude will say so, and the match still only treats the rail.
Packed dirt after a cold night holds the prow honest. Afternoon alkali can fake a high rail by filming the tray. We ask which hour is home before anyone files metal.
