Kansas

10-19-92

 

Driving

3:15 in the morning

Nothing ahead, nothing behind.

Kansas.

I've never been here before.

But I feel I've never been anywhere else,

I Let my mind wander

Only as far as the headlights shine;

the ribbon of road,

Rushing under Sarah's car.

Looking up, I notice millions of stars.

The constellations as I never

thought I would see them.

The moon hangs low,

A globe over Kansas.
