it's hot in the car
the windows have been closed all day
with the sun beating down, the steering wheel is
hot to the touch, I'm not going anywhere,
pulling the level to the left of the seat
and it reclines like my spent body and mind
into a restless slumber, shutdown like
the blue computer screen that appears suddenly
regardless of your intentions, regardless of what
you were doing moments ago, shutdown.
we will awaken in a few moments, tens
of minutes, an hour or more when our eyes
will flicker open, the screen will reappear,
our minds will work, it's hot in the car,
too hot to sleep.
