Dusk on the highway
Readjusting driver's seat
Clouds mixed with cocoa.
Trees silhouetted
Darkling sky, streetlights missing
Sorry hitchhikers.
Short ramp, brief detour
Quantity of maps and guides
Hope of clean restrooms.
Final exit ramp
Streets of unfamiliar town
Lighted motel sign.
Sheets of cool linen
Double beds, extra pillow
Go back tomorrow.
