Got on the Road Again

Janet Kuypers
01/19/10

I had slept in my car
waiting to see you

after scrubbing my clothes
with a small bar of soap in a sink
in some no-name hotel
I drove across the country
    my clothes held down
    by closed windows at the seams
    as American roads dried my clothes
And it made me ready for you

you greeted me with cosmopolitans
and casinos that harmonized
their winning and losing chimes

and it was harmonizing
when I won with you

but I had to pack up again
this is what I do, you know
so I gathered my clothes
saved them for the suitcase
and got on the road again
