Dream

Asleep on the couch
The day’s work ages me
Dream
Rent a van, an old rusty van
Drive it home
Home 39 years ago
Smoke a joint, bored
Wonder where my girlfriend is
19 years in the future
She’s there somehow
Sit on the porch,
They tow the family car home
Park it by the road side
Dusty dirt road
I cry
My father’s home
The day’s work ages him.
