white lights around my dark face,
hard wooden chair beneath me,
hot summer night in July.
you watch-
with those blue eyes,
as the sun peeks through my window.
the sun has just gone down for you.
shadows pass along your frame-
as we fly down the I-5.
Your hand grabs my thigh-
And I
Remember the trips we went on, in only one night.
I sip from my soda-
and rest it in a holder-
Then smile at you,
the orange floodlights along the freeway-
tint my teeth.
One night, many years, in one night.
