Exit 10

White lines mesmerize
tired eyes
weeping for lost memories and 
thoughts forgotten with age
east 
west 
the green signs grow
brown and cry with
every strapped in infant
that cross their paths
another soul forgotten
another memory lost.
Tick tock
Tick tock
The time crawls slower 
Than grandma in her Buick riding the left lane
Amid the honking horns
And staggering blows 
To her frail psyche 
She still maintains the
Speed limit
Audi blue
Type-r yellow
And candy-apple red
Transition thought
To thought 
And remind me 
How good I had it 
Three hours ago.
