Interstate 19 (poem)
Coffee and cigarettes
And you said the word love
Mashed potato’s and
No regrets
Thank god
We’re enough
Car rides
And breakfast smiles
My hand traces your thigh
No sides and besides
Every mile I’m kissed
By your high
Chain smoke
Half the hours away
Collect calls
Yes yes
And then your
Walking away
Watching you
Moving you in my mind
To the forefront
You’re the storefront
Window to every
Candy sweet
Nicotine line
“I love you”
“look at me, I mean it”
and I drove away
“I love you right back”
.. I didn’t say it
Cause I told you all about it
Yesterday
