Drive Home

[kristinmilo]

I watched the leaves dance around
in the bed of the truck ahead of me
that was going 5 mph too slowly.
"Cliffs of Dover" played
and I thought of you.

I watched the needle hover
within a centimeter of empty.
"99 Problems" played
unedited
and I thought of you.

I drove a little too fast
where I could.
I watched for cops.
"Teardrops on My Guitar" played
and I thought of you.
But only a little bit.

I stopped for gas
and a car wash.
"Lowdown" played
and I came home and wrote this
for me.
