old friend (november 2004)

What would you do
if my love ran out of gas
on the interstate and abandoned
the way between my ocean and yours?

What if it decided
to get a cup of coffee instead
and linger amid the plains and diners
of the middle.

Maybe it would find your love
on the side of the road.
And our loves would laugh and tell stories
and talk about those days.

Maybe they'd run away together
and leave us to wonder
what happened.
