Testo Rest Stop - Whatever, Dad

Rest Stop

Hello, van
Fading turquoise
A road trip
To Virginia
It is late
The sun is setting
All the trees
Are on fire
When the sky
Turns to mauve
You arrive
At the rest stop
Don’t believe
The con artist
Let us eat
Something greasy
Save some seats
The floor is sticky
Wait on line
For the bathroom
All the toilets
Flush conveniently
Smell the soap
The wet fingers
Good to know
We’re all women
Fix your hair
In the mirror
Weight machines
Save your quarters
For bubble gum
Ond old jaw breakers
Leave again
Drink some water
Drive again
Take your shoes off
Sink again
Watch the windows
Fog again
Trace your name out
Listen to
The cars whisper
Like a sea
On the highway
Let’s get stuck
In boring traffic
Orange lights
Buzz impatience
It’s okay
You’ve got socks on
Close your eyes
Fall asleep soon
The radio
Static
Is singing for you
Singing a lullaby
For you
The dusty rain’s
Falling
The moon’s feeling lonely
With you
