[BACKDATED] Road Trip to High School Reunion

[lufio]

Class reunion trip
Starts with a late departure.
Woke up an hour late.
-=[@]=-
Turning on headlights
Into the pre-dawn darkness.
Headed for the road.
-=[@]=-
The sounds of the road.
Stations on the radio.
Podcast on the phone.
-=[@]=-
Caffeine sustains me.
Bottles of Frappuccino
And a can of Coke.
-=[@]=-
The highway heads North
Through the trees, farms, and small towns.
Darkness turns to day.
-=[@]=-
Within small valleys
And over ponds of water,
Saturated air.
-=[@]=-
When the highway dips,
Small cloud banks between the trees
Hang over the road.
-=[@]=-
Passing by landmarks
From commutes of long ago.
Memories refresh.
-=[@]=-
The same old pit stops
In the same old gas stations.
The same old road trip.
-=[@]=-
Questions of speed traps
From high school and college trips
In the same places.

Arrived on campus.
Homecoming for the college.
Crowded parking lots.
