She drives as if she is Living in a movie. A man on the radio sings Being good is not good enough. The tachometer glows. Phone poles Necklace into big sky a hot dry wind Flirts with her windows, with speed. She dives and dives She dives As if she is Living in a movie She dives She remembers to keep her eye On the distance.

But then houses flash by Like scrawled notes pinned to the wall;to the wall She drives as if she is Living in a movie She drives as if she is Living in a movie She drives as if she is Living in a movie She drives A shopping bag left on the front step, A dog on the walk.Omamental Deer shimmer on the lawn, Relentless,open-mouthed,grazing. Bright kitchen windows,a hand Offered across the table. she drives as if she is Living in a movie She drives and drives she drives as if she is Living in a movie she drives as if she is Living in a movie She drives
