well, me

finally got my car back
man, it's been a while.
i'll still enjoy a ride with another,
but there's something about that drive with nothing other
than your own choice of music
& your chosen speed.

"i've got a little Honda, it ain't much but it's paid for..."

me, landlady

it's her van, a dinosaur,
i'm driving a dinosaur
but hey it'll get me there.
i haven't driven in months,
so this is certainly enough
to make me happy.
the radio is on,
i'm singing along,
the wind filters in;
it's so good within
my soul.

landlady

happy she could take me to work.
it's raining again.
always raining.
always
raining.
she never did know how to stop talking,
so she speaks
incessantly.
ah well.
happy she took me to work.
adios.

coworker 3 (again)

returning home.
she asks if I'll call her up after I wake up.
not sure how I feel about that.

coworker 3

she likes to talk when she picks me up.
i'm cool with that.
she drives a black car, with Mustang hubcaps.
it's not a Mustang. i find this funny.
we're talking about unfair practices at work.
union? no way.
complaining? well, what else can you do.
here we are, back at work again.

friend (again)

that green car, Charlotte.
it's the last time I'll see him for quite a while. he's headed off to college tomorrow.
I'm not too fond of this.
of course we'll still be friends.
but we won't be able to go places.
have long conversations.
play console games.
eat!
agh. the tyranny of distance.
farewell for faces, friend.
