Chasing that yellow line, shattered moon
slipping over a hood going 90.

Hank Williams Sr's heartbroken drawl
crooning. backed by a tire-strumming lullaby.

Thirteen crushed cowboy killers, a stack of
debit card receipts riding shotgun in the console
with a mega-size truck stop turbo joe.

Burnt heavy-lidded bloodshot eyes glow
in the hazy green of dash lights,
chasing that yellow line.
My eternal gratitude to my dear friend Jade-Pandora for advice and help cleaning up this but of verse. Thank you dear friend.

I agree with Jade - a great story in verse. Reminds me of a 1970s movie like "Eat My Dust." Also reminds me of Bukowski's writing.
