(poem) - An Eighteen Hour Drive
If you have never driven
For eighteen hours straight
Then I suggest you never do
For it’s a horrible trait
It wears down your soul
Watching the road go past
Lines and stripes mark the time
Taking you away from where you were last
Energy drinks help
But only the body
For driving home like that
Makes you feel shoddy
You find yourself wishing
You could push the car a little more
Hoping there isn’t a cop
Waiting to knock on your door
You lay in bed
After the experience
Watching room drift towards you
Making you doubt your grasp on existence
It’s a test of endurance
A test of will power
Driving a car
Hour after unforgiving hour
But the thing is
You see some amazing things
Driving across America
Produces a gift that sings
Luckily I passed the test
Yet again
And we made it home
Safe within the bullpen
And now normalcy
Can creep back in
And I can enjoy the simple pleasure
Of relaxing deep within my den.
