rolling down the black black road
in the hot bright car
droning music hums echoing
out of the radio
the road stretches on into forever
walls of steam hang ahead
no stop lights, no speed limits
just go.
the sweet smell of cows and hay
that is mixed into the air
slides through the crack in the window
and the breeze against your closed eyes
hot sun shoots through the window
like an arrow from a bow
seems to be directed right at you
don’t stop. just go.
grass and farms and fields swoosh by
at a million miles a second
waves of dizziness and hot spread
from head to toe.
eye lids slowly touch the ground
breathing slows on down
feeling the rocking of the car
never stop. just go.
