"Highway" 6/2/01
Two more exits left
And I still haven't told you
What I should;
The silence is like a
Thick, wet beach towel
Laden with sand
And hanging between us.
So you speak of inane things
As if you didn't want to
Hear what I have to say -
1 more exit -
And still you prattle on
Jumping from one topic to
The next faster than the trees that speed by.
I don't want to hear about
Batting averages or
the Rose Bowl -
I want to know what
You think, if at all.
Our exit -
And I can't wait to
Go.
