Far From the Highway





I have never lived far from the highway


You could say the highway
Is the soundtrack
Of my life
The cars
The trucks
The bikes
The crashes
The sirens

I have never lived far from a bridge


You could say the bridges
Are the soundtrack
Of my life
The cars
The trucks
The bikes
The jumpers
The splashes
The sirens


I have never lived far from the forest


You could say the forests
Are the soundtrack
Of my life
But they are not
Because I live nearer the highways and bridges
I live nearer the crashes and splashes


I have a liquor store nearby
