out on the highway

passing slow

though construction

here there used to be

i say all nostalgia

a place to park

walk down by the river

i’d love to take you along

but now it’s a 5 mile hike

to get there

what i don’t say

is i took another one

many years ago

walking the stream

summer sun & light

to stop under trees

do the thing we did

this was not love

just a soft afternoon

later walking back

seeing the trout swim

amongst hair long weed

her holding my hand

all hot & damp

just like me she said

a sigh going on

my girl here & now

now says you all ok?

yeah yeah i smile

just remembering

daydreaming

another ride by eh?
