I never sleep in the car, but I remember how calm you made me. I woke up because I snored. You were listening to a podcast so low I don’t know how you could even hear it. “You weren’t asleep long.” “I never sleep in the car.” The stars were bright as the desert flew by us. Sagebrush Creosote Dust I felt so calm, surrounded by red dirt and wide wide space. “We’ll stop at the next town. Maybe 20 minutes.” I drink some water and stare out the window as the big dipper smiled at me. I could live forever in this car.
