Thirteen Hundred Miles & Counting
driving westward
an orange
interstate sign
with
black lettering
came into view
NOTICE
correctional facility
do not
pick up
hitchhikers
drawing two
cowboy killers
from my
shirt pocket,
i turned to
shotgun
& said
if you made it
this far, i think
you deserve
a free ride.
