(This poem was inspired by a wonderful conversation I had earlier today)
Get in the Car
Turn the key to START
Turn up the base
Let it revamp your heart.
Let it consume you
The sound and the road
Be your own entertainer
Let your mind unload.
The rear-view mirror
Shows no one to lead.
In your car, alone,
Be who you want to be.
The cold and the dark
Suggest fear and strife.
But this path is well lit
All you have are headlights.
Gray and black
Are the colors you see.
The simplicity
Invites tranquility.
Drive the speed you want
The destination you choose.
Better than sleep,
The drive is my muse.
Walking up to my porch
I'm back in real life
Until our next engagement,
Just me and River Drive.
