Blue Tarp

September 20, 2015 by Tom Stewart

Her only plan in life
Was to get lost
Among trees
Under a blue tarp
And one hole
To let in the stars
Her plan was
Tucked in the back seat
Under the shoes for Goodwill
And she would drive
And dream of that day
When she would pass her exit
And head for the mountains
She...
And her blue tarp
As she hit the turn signal
For work
She would sigh
And the highway left her
She still wasn't lost
But she felt herself not easily found
