the loneliness of the long distance driver

i love to drive,
she says.

the car gassed up,
a bag of pretzels in my lap.

singing to songs
on the radio.

i can drive for hours and hours
and be happy.

i like to see the scenery,

take the long route
around.

watch the sun come up,
the sun go down.

i could drive all day
and night

if i had too. there is nothing
i'd rather do

than drive a thousand
miles
to see you.

and then go home the next
day.
