sleep

She will drive into the rain tonight,
with a melting ice cream sandwich,
and a bottle of tequila,
both melting in her van.She'll drive across the parking lot,
of 'ANYTHING FOR A DOLLAR",
"That's about the sum of it"
she motions with her hands.
she'll whisper to the guardrail,
"Who's your daddy's babies"?
as a trooper with an attitude,
stares this flower down.
She'll fumble for a dollar,
and toss at the toll booth,
cursing at the taker,
"you're nothing but a clown". She will drive into the rain tonight,
like every night,like every wife,
another of the misfits,
that generate the heat. The road begins to curve ahead,
a burger king, is almost dead.
a smoking silver magnum,
stuffed beneath the seat.
