with everything behind us

I fall asleep

thinking of pepperoni pizza.
extra cheese.

mozzarella melted.
i think about you and me

sitting in a joint
along the highway,

heading to new York
on a rainy Friday night.

the checkered table cloth,
red and white

made of thick vinyl.
the plate glass window
greasy.

a juke box in the corner
playing
bob seeger.

night moves.
I look into your eyes.
you look into mine.

we're hungry and the night
is young. life begins now.

what's behind us, everything
behind us,
is done.
