The Freeway Runs Red
I’ve been thinking about the freeway at night
Atop this mountain I can see it forever
Shimmering and humming in the distance
I’ve been thinking about my open window
You can see me if the light is on
If it is open maybe you will hear me singing
Late into the night I want to see the world
Sometimes the world is allowed to know I am here too
And I’ve been having trouble sleeping again
Worse than normal
Outside it feels like a storm in the haze
I can’t see the stars and there is no stillness in living
The freeway runs red one way
