Driving

yes, of course, I'll be there.

I've never driven so much, and never thought so 

little about it,

not one moments hesitation.

Highway 36 to 270 to 225 to 16th Way

right turn at Children's Way and right into

the parking lot.  

Usually a spot close to the exit.

I'll drive 1h30 to spend 30m with my son,

for the chance to hug him and be with him,

whatever he wants to say, has to say,

to share some sandwiches of buttered bread,

prosciutto and Gruyere cheese slathered in 

ripe avocado, finish with chocolate and carrot/walnut cake, 

to deliver pomegranate seeds to Tori.

it's all I can do, to drive, to love, 

to care.

I can do that.
