Highway
So why should I care about the sounds of the highway
Droning in through my window every night?
Doctors and secretaries and cops and sales associates
Driving home from work and listening to the radio;
To the news about a murdered child and the drought,
A new dinosaur in China and the Yankees lose a game.
It keeps me awake thinking that we are all driving;
We are all on the road going home after a long day.
A mother kissing a little sneaker, the brown corn field,
A trembling trowel in China and a futile swing in the 9th,,
All flying past and I can't bear to look at them because
I have to keep my eyes on the road, right?
