*by Randy Streu*

It’s only a three-minute drive,  
so you get in the car knowing  
you’re coming right back--  
  
but the rain has finally broken  
the oppressive heat  
and the breeze is a balm for your nerves  
  
as you drive with windows down,  
and the music edges through  
the static in your mind.  
  
Your destination is right in front of you,  
but you turn the wheel--  
there’s another one four miles east
