Sketches - 22 (September 6th, 2014)

22.

Up in bold strokes
foot on gas
up Saddle Creek Road
to Center then right
past  Hi-Vee grocery
and fuel, usual
stop for coffee / tiny
bit of lunch for work
and drive further west
up Center Street over
the viaduct above 72nd street
on further past the
Catholic Cemetery
then right turn on
80th through a quiet
aging neighborhood,
larger houses and generally
quiet semi-forgotten lives
then work, and I take
these series of streets
every morning 5 days a week
few holidays and
few real complaints
except I’d rather be
navigating mysterious
highways and playing
              songs.
