Annual Christmas Shopping Adventure

Maine
We were Sunday driving
On a Saturday
Savoring country roads
Sandwiched in trees
Dusted with snow

Cafe gas bars
Red barns and cows
Passing Santa and
His reindeer
Listening to holiday tunes

Braking for moose
And trucks
My 4 month old Lance.
Shit
She didn’t see me

Hopeful about the Corporal
And everything fine
No bumps, scrapes, or bruises
We’re lucky this time

Driving home in a rental
Beep beep
Buddy
In your lane you stay
