302

just driving
totally exhausted
window rolled down

highway rolling past at
over a hundred kilometers
an hour

bright lights of cars and
trucks passing on the far
second lane

people passing me
dissappearing into the
future of the night

a cold cup of coffee
on the dash
a silver chain with
a sterling medallion
and wolf's tooth
a womans red gem
ring sways from the
rearview mirror

this denim jacket is
damp from the rain earlier
i hiked up to the falls
must have sat there for
two hours watching the
water pounding over the
rocks before i could
barely see my way back

im out of cigarettes

and hungry
but the cars running smooth
washed its cream paint job
and white vinyl roof two
days ago

just driving
no particular place
no starting spot
no finish

in some town there will
be a coffee shop
and an all night smoke shop

a soft drink machine

shes a hundred miles away
and i wish i could miss her

i wish i could

im just keeping awake to
stop the dreams

when i get my cheque
ill drive to the lake
and drink beer until it
get warm

skip stones

feel that cold place in
my guts thats keeping me
going

how longs it gonna take
until im innocent again

how much rain to wash
the self doubt away

pain like a candle
wearing away by the fire

i can still taste her
fragrance on my fingertips

Chanel No 5

this highway never ends
this story never gets to
grow old

its just that i need
more gas
a pack of smokes

stretch my legs
before i start to turn
back

...O...
