gas pump blues

the light is on once again
warm and reassuring
letting me know that i need to fill Lou Ellen with gas
once again
it must come on almost every day
i hate spending more than eight or so dollars on gasoline
so ill keep up with it
the quick fix method
the seat belt latch is jammed
so i don't wear it
if she were to just up and die in the road
id get her fixed in a heart beat
but when we watch someone slowly go
go to their grave
we feel helpless
the course is plotted
and we are no cartographer
it will end well?
no.
its so obvious we cannot lie
no even to ourselves
