God Is My Co-Pilot

Girl In A Car Singing Along With The Radio

God Is My Co-Pilot


Maybe I shouldn't stare at girls all the time, but I'm not sure what harm it does... 
My gaze doesn't carry the weight of the patriarchy. 
There was a woman in a maroon car, license # something four seven four. 
Straight brown hair, sharp nose, very proud nose in profile. 
Handsome nose, face in repose, thinking or singing along: 
Rock Rock Rock n Roll lobster. 
Rough right hand on the steering wheel, 
rough hand looks like a man's hand. 
A rough hand being gentle can be so much softer than a soft hand. 
Am I making sense? 
I tried to see her left hand, 
I was looking for a wedding band, 
I tried to picture her with a man, 
I couldn't but I never can. 
I tried to picture me on the seat beside her. 
Then I woke up and the k.d. lang record was skipping on the turntable.
