Doing Laundry

the tiny laundry room
smells like my grandfather
and the house he once had
where I played in my youth

the walls, rich healthy green
i remember driving
up in the afternoon
the happiest Ive ever been

from Idaho its far
but its well worth the trip
cool summer nights with Iz
I still smell the old cars

As soon as I reached the last line I smelled my grandparents' old car in the shed.
