The Freeway - Dear Nora

The Honda is in front of me

The Saturn is in front of the Honda

The big guy in the diesel truck is halfway through his super sized soda

The Jeep is beside me and we’re going 80 on the I-5

We’re headed North for the hills and the bay

Through broken up pastures my bails of hay

Through acres of acres of almonds and chamomile fields

We’re headed northward to the bay

The bay

The bay

The bay is open to the sea

The sea it crashes on the land

The land is the home of the freeway

The freeway
