Poetry 365: Untitled

Dead of night,
in an old Volvo 850
the color of a twenty
that's been through the wash

and between talk radio stations
from Toledo and Scranton
we find an old Kinks tune
that I've forgotten the title of

but the guitars
sound like they're picked with razor blades
and the notes sting
me awake long enough

to see that we are still six hours
from our warm bed.
