out of respect

at the exact time when I was involved in the most superficial this weekend, a good friend far away was going though something I can't even begin to fathom. our thoughts here are with Thomas and his family.

"I like the peace
in the backseat,
I don’t have to drive,
I don’t have to speak,
I can watch the country side,
and I can fall asleep.

crashing towards the driver’s seat,
the lightning bolt made enough heat
to melt the street beneath your feet.

I’ve been learning to drive.
My whole life,
I’ve been learning."
