Always There

Engine falter sputter dash flashing pull over so nervous

Freezing dark moonlit highway walk sideways no service

Flatbed tow warm cab big driver soft radio “i’ll just grab my bag”

Bright empty lobby white keycard small fridge loud ice machine such a drag

You, always there

Minotaur bored at an airport nowhere for it just watching planes touch down

Lone suitcase rides on a carousel from the stairwell i watch it come around

Any idea how far how long how many movements how many times i’ve drowned

You, always there

Oh travel around the world

I don’t know where i would be without you
