Crossing State LinesA 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 © 2013 Patrick McCombs |
