once in a while
and i wish it were more often
i step into a dream
i am walking
and i see this car
and this wild haze
comes over me
and i get into the car
and start it
by sparking some wires
and it is all too easy
and then
i drive down coastal terrain
and the glove compartment is filled
with those little liquor bottles
like a mini bar
and i drink some
and you are hitch-hiking
and i am so glad it is you
on the side of the road
because we haven't seen each other in a while
and it is good to talk
besides which
you have excellent taste in music
and are always into something new
which you now showcase on my car stereo
while you open the little whiskeys
with the other hand
it is all quite miraculous
and obscenely beautiful
but that is always what happens
darling
when you are in my vicinity
