i leave my car running
being the reckless wasteful consumer of my time
car running and parked
on the roof
looking out over the city
in the rain
in the middle of the day
downtown
on top of the parking garage
closing my eyes and rolling down the windows
and letting janis joplin echo out
feeling the music in my seat
i can see it rolling out and across the pavement
down into the streats
like rain and fog
i imagine a man looking around for the source
he's just looking around for the source
because usually it quiet
only traffic and wind
from up here
eyes closed and wind blowing through
i'd never know it was 2005
i've got marlboros and plenty of gas
running down my tank and taking a drag
starbucks coffee in the cupholder getting cold
cigarette butts mark my spot on the roof
just me and my running car
