Fantasies of Loneliness
Driving idly down the interstate
music flows past my ears unattended by my thoughts
They are elsewhere
I stare numbly at the reflectors
becoming entranced by their rythmic passing
A thought floats forward
"what if I crashed? I need to pay attention"
My mind is elsewhere
An image floats in front of my face
A conversation
A severence
And then the loneliness
My desire terrifies me
the consequences--
They would dwarf this imagining
As the future is released into the uncertain
The reflectors catch my eye once more
and I'm not sure I want to pay attention to the road
