Rainy Night
It was raining.
I thought I’d wait it out.
I tuned the engine on to help.
Still in place, but the engine rumbles.
Flipping through the stations.
Music, static, music.
Cloying sounds, I’m used to it.
It’s only a drizzle now.
I turn off the engine.
And fall asleep.
I wake up to the knocking on my window.
Yeah, yeah, I’m fine.
I’m glad I live alone now.
They say that’s bad for me, but it’s peaceful.
No one calls and asks where I am anymore.
Where are you? Where are you? You already know.
My apartment is around the corner.
Sometimes, my apartment drives me crazy.
So I sleep in my car, so I don’t go crazy.
It should be safe to drive home.
But I almost crash anyway.
