Car Watching


Car Watching



Standing curbside on the border of 422

Behind me the outpost of Turkey Hill

I watch like a sentry as the cars drive by

I peer inside, curious, intrigued

Where are these people heading?

Where is their destination?

Where worries do they have?

Is their gas tank low?

What is their back story?

Or like Flynn Rider do they not tell?

Could one female driver be my soul mate?

I contemplate as my gallon of sweet tea grows heavy

They ride by as Indian raiding parties

Seeing all, remembering only what’s important

The orange hand forbids my passage

The white man appears

I walk as all the cars watch me
