Rest Stop

the drive was intermittent everyone had to pee at the different times distractions strangers in rest stops that were duplicates of duplicates designed by MacDonalds and merchandising psychologists I wandered by the sunglasses and video games inhaled fast food coffee and sized the out-of-towners up down into the parking lot didn’t seem like a rest stop with all the pulling in and pulling out kids running spilled drinks all about and a Ketchuped french fry squashed near the umbrella benches going somewhere while all the while traveling on Facebook in a silent car scrollng for anything except traveling this far.
