so where you headed to?

you're welcome,
sort of,
being out of town with
out of state
plates.
the locals
eyeballing you
as you stretch,
getting out
of the car.
luggage on the roof.
it's in your voice
too
as you order ham
and eggs,
staring at the paper menu.
where you folks from?
the waitress
asks,
oh my, she says.
is that right?
you're a long
ways from home,
aren't you?
so where you headed to?
