Restless Drive

10-19-92

 

Full, shining.

I think that the moon is watching us.

I look at Sarah,

Sleeping restlessly in the seat beside me.

Oh, to think I am going to see Colorado!

But I'm tired.

I don't want to drive through this

desolation anymore.

A semi-truck passes, rocking her little car,

and Sarah wakes up.

She offers to drive at 4:37 a.m.

I sleep.
