one more exit (American Sonnet)
the beautifully starving hearts of Suburbia
are unrolling their angst in a old Corolla hatchback this summer
hair sweeping out the passenger side window
in a 55 mile per hour pilgrimage to just anywhere else
a secret mission to see if the franchises are the same
from state to state
a perfect balance between youth and eternity
fall in love, one thousand times a day
the clumsy girl at the rest-stop
the old man with the blue gloves in the toll booth
that song
just go and keep that goofy smile til the fuel light comes on
until we find the other magnet thats been pulling all along
and snap them together with a click

Nice!!
I really like this. Best minute of my day.
This was so good, I actually saw a little movie in my head while I read it. I'm pretty sure it was directed by Spike Jonze.
Glad you liked it. Various versions have been kicking around my head for a week.
