not enough rest

not enough rest
stop too far off
got to rest now
on the side of the road
if need be the road
leading home
run to the store
at midnight complete darkness
can’t slow down the speed of this train
riding on and on not getting off
when it stops too comfortable
enjoying the rest too much
hoping not to be abandoned
so soon after reaching that bright star
day or night shining
not enough rest until now
body reprimands him for not caring enough
the rest can’t wait the phone ringing
will go unanswered
when double occupancy achieved
even if only for a few present hours
a couple of extremely happy people
greater connection than one would imagine…
