It is dusk and we are driving in an oven.
The earth around us is shrinking and fading away. It's all burning up;
you can see it at the edges.
It is creeping towards our van but we are falling constantly
away from it.
The world is grey
in the inbetweens
and the tracks of it’s inhabitants
get covered up like leaves
under the leadfoot of winter.
It is getting dark fast now and these headlights that were just helpers,
they go from being auxiliary to necessary.
Shadows start to form behind front doors and mysterious figures in the dark
with each minute making them grow longer.
These greys turn into navy blues like night’s black eye,
like some unbeknown bully beat her.
As we turn off the road and into an existence
of dirty truck stops and
people smoking cigarettes in the cold,
I realize that this day is lost and cannot again be found.
We have only the flow of our memories and thoughts;
Those will both run
water-color blue and red,
and dry eventually
but despite all of this.
I am calm.
-----This is a vacuum
-----This is space
This is the best Friday night.
