new road tonight

he has been driving backwards
down the two lane for about
six years from time to time
he travels down the dark alley
just to take a look
not much ever catches his eye
it’s a quiet night
in a not so quiet city
sirens scream somewhere far off
the streets are barren
he is still driving backwards
top speed not exactly
potholes everywhere
he has got to be careful
too many times by the side of the road
late night changing tires
getting tired of the grind it has become
everything is dangerous
wondering if it even matters
how careful should he be
maybe he will find a new
unknown road tonight…
