Work

The car pulled out slowly 
from behind the off-white building. 
It was in no hurry.
The driver made sure to push
his former passenger
into a shaded corner 
of the back lot. 
The car pulled up to the first
stop sign and made a full stop.
He looked left, then right,
saw no one in either direction.
The speedometer moved up
and evened out at 35mph.
He tuned the radio
to the local country station,
it was the only one in town.
'Cocaine Blues' was on.
He rolled the window down
and enjoyed the breeze
across his face.
