(fight the empty feeling)

5, 7, 5 x 5

dark and empty road
my morning jacket sings
warning light warning light rah

(bounce with me bounce with me)

sumo buddies bob
bathroom dispenser drakkar
lot lizard head nod

(East Bound and Down! Loaded up n truckin, we gonna do what they can't be done, we got a long way to go, and a short time to get there...)

semi reflected
lit like whooville christmas
dennis weaver duel

(the camera, balanced on the rear view mirror)

this ridiculous
endless gastank pilfering
maybe Prius next

(schneider tm on the radio)

orange barrel slow
count the orange syllable
orange julius

Special thanks to the marmot for reminding me of the economy of haiku
