Stretch of Road

December 05, 2020

Cement stamped across the landscape, paint to keep you in

a number ignored and, again, the same Holiday Inn

Moving houses, rolling stones,

after nine hours, I can’t feel my bones

Following the sun, racing the clouds

there’s a family arguing next to me, my music drowns out the shouts

Gas station coffee, McDonald’s to go

there’s someone in the toilet next to me doing blow

Mosquitos came out today, in a nice little textbook formation

turn off the GPS and follow them to salvation

The cashier is checked out, the light flickers “OPEN”

that one guy definitely stole that but no one bothers to stop him

Local news paper, only police logs and ads on the cover

one of them is a Hail Mary attempt to find a long-lost lover

She wears a shirt with Selena,

from Tejas with love.
