early

drive in the dark

same road as yesterday

and every day before

alone with the radio man and no air

he talks between songs

sometimes about some “news”

that’s happened in the city

but mostly he lets the music play

the air conditioning is broken

but air from the outside

gets in through the holes

that still haven’t been fixed

I’m alone in the dark

no one else in sight

struggling to stay awake

just trying to make it in one piece
