Day Six at Eleven

I'm rushing for more than a month from now

even though I'll hate the weather.

Years pent up behind me;

so many people,

too many jobs,

and never enough money.

 

Nothing but open road in front

more than a month from now.

Two lanes each side,

a double yellow line,

no shoulder.

 

I'll forget to check the traffic report,

I'll be worried about the weather.

More than a month from now.
