Simply Awash (Day 936)

remember 100 degrees    

no A/C    highway 5 

all the way 

to the dam    

flushed from a nap 

in the back of a jeep   

sweet and sticky 

as blackberry jam   

simply awash 

in a 17-year glow 

from dreaming of living

to living a dream

nothing mattered 

but freedom 
and the road 

we called home   

no one answered 

so we let it ring

no one answered 

so we kept on driving
