Rest Stop

Hello van
Fading turquoise
A road trip
To Virginia

It is late
The sun is setting
All the trees
Are on fire

When the sky
Turns to mauve
You arrive
At the rest stop

Don't believe
The con artist
Let us eat
Something greasy

Save some seats
The floor is sticky
Wait on line
For the bathroom

All the toilets
Flush conveniently
Smell the soap
The wet fingers

Good to know
We're all women
Fix your hair
In the mirror

Weight machines
Save your quarters
For bubble gum
And old jaw breakers

Leave again
Drink some water
Drive again
Take your shoes off

Sink again
Watch the windows
Fog again
Trace your name out

Listen to
The cars whisper
Like a sea
On the highway

Let's get stuck
In boring traffic
Orange lights
Buzz impatience

It's okay
You've got socks on
Close your eyes
Fall asleep soon

The radio
Static
Is singing for you
Singing a lullaby
For you

The dusty rain's
Falling
The moon's feeling lonely
With you
