A Poem

bananas, chocolate, bottled water

title of blog post
never written about
a car ride
at sunset, pink and purple painted
onto blue orange background,
headlights a steady beam,
car gliding down highway
as if toward nothing
but something
slowly revealed by
timid halo of light;
trees enfold highway
ensnare us into wilderness;
we take the glowing exit
into blurred details of dark
where the path ends in a parking lot
with banana peels, empty bottles, and a
half-eaten bag of M&Ms.
