Sunday Road Trip
It was something
You will take a long time forgetting
Should you sit on a Sunday's emptiness
Wanting something to do
Your hand always had the steering
Yet it was I who saw the map
And the detours that did not matter
I liked driving from Jacksonville to Georgia
Imagining horid things about horid places
And longing for familiar faces
Sometimes, perhaps you cease laughing
And swallow hard, and hide again
Tears that retraces where you have been
It was something
Too drunk with stubborness
To detour a lonely Sunday evening
Searching for one last giggle of happiness
