Use #1 for Your Car




Please drive.

Please drive until the sun
burns your left arm

until we are very far away

until this mountain
is that speck.

Please drive,
drive fast enough
that the
road signs have
the slender legs of
deer,

fast enough that
i can feel the air

as though it were solid

and had grasping hands.

Please drive long
so the hours are towns,

please, let the seconds be
mile
markers,

please drive,
until all i can remember
is how to get home.
