Jeep

Jeep
olllo
Putting my hands on the wheel,
Turning the key and feeling it rumble,
A smooth engine and beautiful steel.

Speeding down the street,
Sharp turns,
Pedal pressed against my feet.

Rolling fast through the rain
Getting stuck deep in mud,
This Jeep could put a Mustang to shame.

Switching into four-wheel drive,
Smiling at the wind, watching mud fly:
No car in the world is this alive.

Music

Music

When we first met,
you would make sounds that I couldn’t understand ,
but they’d always make me fall asleep.


We grew up into love,
and you were my only escape.
You had different faces,
but every one of them was sublime.


Eventually we worked together
and made love,
love that no one would discriminate against.


We will grow old,
and I do pray that you will go on when I pass,
and find someone who was lost just like I was
when you would watch me sleep.
