Crossing State Lines

Crossing State Lines

A Poem by Patrick McCombs

We just crossed state lines
According to the highway signs
With the sun rising at our backs
We're covering up our tracks
Cutting off the loose ends 
Leaving all our old "friends"
You've got this look on your face
Like you've just won the big race
You put your foot flat on the ground 
And the engine makes a roaring sound
Were racing down the interstate 
Trying to out run our fate
Your laugh has undertones of insanity
Or maybe that's just your vanity
As your eyes glow in the misty morning air
I try and figure out whats going on in there
But you're an impossible equation 
Skilled in misdirection and evasion
A problem I have no hope of solving 
Because you are constantly evolving
You grab a bottle of wine from the back seat
You open it one handed, no easy feat
You take a fantastically long drink
You pass it to me and give me a wink
And we drive off to face the day
Some people might call us crazy, but I prefer it this way
