chicago to nashville

it doesn't matter.

soon enough,
someone will be planting red
and yellow flowers
on our graves, that,
or our remains
will be plucked clean
by vultures.
in some desert.

let's go.
chicago to nashville
is only 8 hours
and
13 minutes away.
let's go,
preferably, quicker
than bowling balls falling
from a shallow sky.

it'll only be
for a few days,
but goddamnit,
let's get there before
there are roadblocks
and other processions.
