The Way Home

He tapped the keys in his pocket
as the sound of the music moved 
them both down the highway. 
 
Streetlights painted the way
forgivingly, and eased the 
transition.
 
He would be home soon,
back to the place where 
she had first retrieved 
this man
             and in slightly better tune.
 
Sometimes all you need is a good friend,
and a radio.
