“I have places I need to be
I can’t stay”
no matter
it’s not a big deal
I’ll go fishing
in the reservoir or a lake
and sell my car for a beater
a rusted truck without all wheel drive

when I get to the spot
I’ll fumble with the line
squirm back at the worms
and adjust the hat
I bought at a convenience store

if I catch something
I’ll weep while I get the hook out
and look down the road
thinking I’ll see her
