Interstate-Fourlong lines of lights lining up and lighting up
the midnight asphalt that drives me
in shear exileration I accelerate
jocking for position like in a steeple chase
blurring images of lost faces
as I pass you by on my 8 cylinder high
wind whipping around no cop to be found
pushing...

Interstate HookupI met a nice fellow from Nebraska
Talked about his sister in Alaska
Said she was still single
And ready to mingle
“If available,” he said, “I’ll ask-a.”

Rain On the InterstateIt was a stressful drive
Up north I-seventy-five
The rain came pouring down
Water, water, all around
Semi-trucks carrying loads
Vie for places on road
I was in middle lane
Trying to remain sane
Suddenly, a cloud burst
In the gray, rainy mist
The car in front - me at rear
Seemed to disappear
The burst yielded...

Flying Down Interstate 5Redding Poem 4
“Flying Down Interstate 5”
We departed Redding at 3:45,
In the dead of an October night.
Those tumultuous streets were morgues then,
As we raced to the deserted Interstate 5,
Zooming across the snoozing Sacramento River,
Going at a constant speed of 85,
Passing the snoring cities of...

Interstate 95If you want to drive instead of fly in a plane,
your trip to Florida can start north in Maine.
The quickest and most efficient traveling way,
is via the Interstate-95 highway.
There are plenty of motels and places to eat.
A journey along this thoroughfare is something neat.
Pass New...

Down the Interstate Lickety-SplitDown the Interstate Lickety-Split
By Elton Camp
What folly, on the Interstate, it is to try
Driving as if laws of physics don’t apply
To travel in some high-speed wolf pack
A modicum of good sense does lack
Driving only feet from the vehicle ahead
Results in a whole bunch ending...

Interstate 10 Rest AreaOh strange, strange land.
The physics do not fit.
The cord of interstate wends,
Through this place of upside-down rocks.
I climb down from the truck,
And wind and sand and sun and secrets
Run over me like dancing children.
I feel spirit course through me.
My soul sighs.
My vision...

Twyla Tharp and Interstate 81TWYLA THARP AND
INTERSTATE 81
I had been watching a documentary
about a white-haired woman, a legendary
master of creative processes whose intensity
of focus was a cautionary tale of explosive ideas
at the expense of deep love directly delivered
and, in spite of myself, I liked her anyway
The force...

Interstate 94 Is On the MapI am sure Interstate 94 is on that map!
My husband is getting impatient now.
I have been telling him for an hour.
I am not good at reading maps.
He is finally paying attention.
“It is NOT ON HERE!” I yell.
He finally pulls off at an exit.
“This is an...

Interstate FourThis highway has connected so many puzzles in my life.
Family, friends, enemies, school, foriegn cities.
Always a strange meaning in the seemingly never-ending road.
Memories of two people who made me forget reason and to live life at its fullest.
Memories of long, thoughtful rides with family and...
