"Wish you were here" Scrawled out in sharpie In the bathroom stall I fish a ballpoint pen Out of my shoulder bag And scribble a ":(" And a "Miss you too" I go into my car Slam the door The skies are cloaked in Grey clouds It begins to drizzle Then pour Reba's voice comes through static: "My mind is on you" I pull over To the side of the road I put my head on the tattered steering wheel I feel something in my throat That needs melting But my eyes are deserts Instead, I lift my head To watch the heavens cry.
