lost weekend

second time in two days that I’ve fallen asleep on the car ride home, been woken up by someone shouting that we’re here. weekend road trips and blurry eyes under the fading streetlights of an empty road, windows down just to feel alive. we’re driving by streets that i can’t pronounce the names of and stopping in all-nite diners for a roomful of truckers drinking coffee and us, ordering one of everything on the menu, stealing jelly packets or sugar, no one can tell which. back on the road for fourteen hours with half the car asleep while i drive straight on through the quiet night, headlights flickering down the roads in front of us and everybody dreaming towards a neon tomorrow shining like a gas station sign in the middle of nowhere waiting for us to pull up and ask for directions, do you know how to get to another lost weekend? and the girl with bubble gum hair behind the counter says keep driving and you’ll find it, drive through the week endlessly and stop when we get to Saturday, dream on past the edges and into the splatter-painted night. kids in a truck with empty hands and big hearts and something waiting to be lost or losing, time slipping away across state lines and highway lights like the road beneath us. half-asleep waiting to be woken up, staring out the window hoping nobody ever tells us that we’re there and we can just keep searching, for ourselves or for a miracle whichever one comes first.
