…three hundred miles,
PUT CHahead the road more visible
PUT CHas the land dissolves in the pink light
     PUT CHARAPUT CHARAPUT CHof almost dawn   

you sit beside me,
PUT CHeyes fixed and restful on my face,
PUT CHoffering hot coffee from a thermos
PUT CHPUT CHARAPUT CHARACwhile the farm news
PUT CHARAPUT CHARAPUT CHAbreaks morning music
PUT CHARAPUT CHAPUT CHARAon a local station 

i could be here forever,
            moving toward an unfamiliar place,
            held by speed and the vibrating engine,                               
PUT CHARAPUT CHARAtouched by the warmth of your breath 

i could be here forever,
            even as day turns into twilight;
PUT CHARAPUT you borne lightly on sheets stiffly cleaned,
PUT CHARAPUT wrapping your strength within, around mine;
PUT CHPUT CHAprepared for tomorrow’s miles 

we and machines;
PUT CHPUT CHAonly we moving,  moving;   
PUT CHARAPUT CHARAPUT CHAi could be here forever…
