Rainy Night

It was raining. I thought I’d wait it out. I tuned the engine on to help. Still in place, but the engine rumbles. Flipping through the stations. Music, static, music. Cloying sounds, I’m used to it. It’s only a drizzle now. I turn off the engine. And fall asleep. I wake up to the knocking on my window. Yeah, yeah, I’m fine. I’m glad I live alone now. They say that’s bad for me, but it’s peaceful. No one calls and asks where I am anymore. Where are you? Where are you? You already know. My apartment is around the corner. Sometimes, my apartment drives me crazy. So I sleep in my car, so I don’t go crazy. It should be safe to drive home. But I almost crash anyway.
