Motor Pool

swinging back
sinking into the night, a family
no need for a swim
the night starts now
my face, once proud, now looks worn
I laughed so hard
even though people are watching

the silent motor pool, a colorless car
streetlights and orange glow, a bundle of dreams

coin pass
rushing, I lost to the ironies
picked up one by one
the night starts now
the dogs are barking, making a racket
I sang a tune
even though it’s not my favorite song

the silent motor pool, a colorless car
streetlights and orange glow, a bundle of dreams

if I align my eyes with the clouds of the moon
far away, the travel truck cuts through the sky
flowing stars, I traded them in

how far will I go?
