Put on your make up while we're in the car peyote in our air travelling through the desert holding hands air conditioner broke smoking 4 dollar cigarettes kissing wiping the sweat off our faces with old shirts torn sweaters you wore a dress that exposed your knees no bra and your shoulders were bright like your eyes it was 100 degrees lip stick smeared on the rear view mirror when we kissed kansas goodbye driving with no shoes on let's stop for gas but the wind the heat the peyote and the lips of yours are keeping me on the road melting like hot candle wax we stopped at a motel the windows let in a draft of hot air coffee machine broken the cable television speaking spanish making love listening to dogs bark as if we were aristocrats in a private box at an opera the sink leaked adding background static to the sounds of the air conditioner humming sputtering for air we bought bad whiskey took off our clothes fell asleep in the sand mixed with mexico's moon light when I woke up my good sweater was gone the 1980'd-rusted-flat tired-oldsmobile was gone she left me a cigarette the rest of whiskey.
