Flickering lights passing
like shooting stars,
counting time to the
white stripes streaming
past my foggy window,
Smooth black loneliness
checkered with neon
and fluorescent paint
~Newport Pleasure~
~Kids under 12 eat and stay free~
cigarette smoke lingers
like Jay and Silent Bob,
my eyes blinking to the
sway of the wiper blades.
Cavernous overpasses looming,
lighted by a thousand
faceted halogen bulbs
I hear the call
of the open road
like shooting stars,
counting time to the
white stripes streaming
past my foggy window,
Smooth black loneliness
checkered with neon
and fluorescent paint
~Newport Pleasure~
~Kids under 12 eat and stay free~
cigarette smoke lingers
like Jay and Silent Bob,
my eyes blinking to the
sway of the wiper blades.
Cavernous overpasses looming,
lighted by a thousand
faceted halogen bulbs
I hear the call
of the open road
