rush

i am on the couch before work

these are my favorite moments

away from the office

i like the idea of growing,

but i miss the old me.

i miss driving through oklahoma sunsets

hot and sticky virginian summer mornings

i miss new york's wind and texas highways.

but europe is romantic

and the weekends make it

so i am staying here a while

aching for a drip black american coffee

and placid counter conversations
