road side assistance

I need roadside assistance.
my life
has broken down.
I need a lift,
a ride, I need
someone to get me down
the road
and into
a warm hotel, with hot
food
and a view.
someone to draw me a bath
and read
to me as I fall asleep.
it was an old car.
I may just leave it where
it died.
right there
on the highway.
it got me where I needed
to go for so long,
I trusted it,
but that's done now.
the past is past.
I need roadside
assistance, my life,
has broken down, my thumb
is out, my heart is open
for suggestions.
