NPM - Poem 14 - Loud Quiet Time

Loud Quiet Time

Today, a drive I took.
The Pumpkin and Me.

Alone on the road.
The Pumpkin and Me.

Except
KLOVE sang along with
The Pumpkin and Me.

Except
The brain's thoughts intercepted
The Pumpkin and Me.

Except
A message received and sent from
The Pumpkin and Me.

Except
Three stops along the way
The Pumpkin and Me.

Except
Three more stops on the return
The Pumpkin and Me.

Except
Even the Jeep hummed along
Allowing Her Voice to be heard.
The Pumpkin and Me.

Except
Even I just had to say...a word or two...or three.
The Pumpkin and Me.

Quiet Time became
Loud Time between
The Pumpkin and Me.

Much accomplished
In that Loud Quiet Time.
Just the Pumpkin and Me.
