Time To Checkout

No I'm not dying
Been sitting in a motel
Writing poetry 
Until asleep I finally fell

You checkin at dark
Giving money for a bed
Checkout at 10am
Is what the sign said

In the shower
Then out the door
Leaving beautiful California
When I get home, I'll write more

I'm stopping to pick blackberries
I may be a while
Stained finger tips
With a full belly...worth every mile
