At Albany, the day is done.
The Truck-Stop glows: an emerald sun
spraying sparkled frozen foam
onto the glass,
the paint,
the chrome.

Here, the neon-knuckled stare,
entangled in the Rabbit's snare.
From the puddled pools of night,
steel-belted souls
now splashed with light.

Deep inside, somehow I know
that hopes die in this hazy glow
of loneliness.
The miles have caught me here, you see
quite suddenly,
at Albany.

Written at Albany GA, 2002

I like this! It rings true for all who travel as a compulsion or job, rather then as a vacationer who has a place that he wantes to come back to.
I get a feeling of life less lived,in places that all seem the same eventually... nice
