Because

watching the lines in the road going by
Home at night. journeying
An orange glow from passing street lights
Stars, orion
Not noting the time
Dozing. My sister asleep in the back
Dozing Thinking about writing about watching lines in the road
Pass
By me in my daydream
(or is it night dream?)
I'm half asleep
white
An orange glow from passing street lights
Flashing by
A void of darkness and flitting hedges
Beyond the headlights.
A roundabout whistling by
Whistling
Whistling through the trees like bats
Invisible
Wishing to be somewhere else
Pretending except I only fool
Myself.
