The Girl at the White Oak Station

I’m an old man 

with not much to lose

an anchor at the end of a chain

All of my memories

wrecks and wrong turns
rattle around in my brain

Filling up gas

at the White Oak Station
she was leaned back on her car

Cradling her belly

like holding a baby

we looked at each other afar

Topping my tank

trying hard not to think 

I turned on the highway towards home

Nothing was said

jus’ chatter in my head

blind love for the girl on her own ~
