Inland Empire Freeways
Koreatown 1983
Summer morning sitting on the sidewalk with his friend
Concrete cool under his legs
Rolling clove cigarettes out of butts he’d been saving
Driving out to the desert with Jennifer Finch
Taking loads and marveling at the silence
Next day on the 10
He never felt so depressed
Inland Empire freeways covered in black skid marks
The scars of countless accidents
Is he going home again?
He’s never going home again
No no no no
No no no no
