keep the motor running
she says as she jumps out & leaves the door open.
It’s bright & sunny & hot –
a technicolor day, if ever I saw one.
and it all feels too real, you know ? ultra real.

She takes it all in her stride,
like we’re on summer holiday, or out for a ride.
It’s drive time, wow !
hit the road she says, calmly.
