Night Drives
Location
Now the sun is finishing its daily retreat.
In the lights of the dashboard I watch
Grey figures fly by outside the window.
Here I try to make out a shape or two, but
The only things seen are illuminated in the headlights.
Drifting in and out of consciousness, I
Reach for my pillow and recline my seat.
Into my dream music from the radio waltzes and turns.
Very quietly I snuggle into my pillow and blanket.
Even with the destination approaching, my mind
Still continues to wander.
