I’ve been driving nine days now.
Headed north on 95
and kept on adding layers.
Hit traffic in Richmond,
exhaust pipes, exhaustion.
Things picked up in Maryland
troll toll booths collected fees.
Delaware proved short.
Headbeams turned on lighting
undisclosed locations.
My exit came up fast
I fumbled for a turn
signal and panicked out loud.
Windshield wipers furious
backlights blazing brighter at
80 miles per hour
no passenger no cargo
no turn signal
no exit. |
