It's just nice

Something Nice

There's something nice
about a hot afternoon
pumping gas across the street from
a car sales lot, flags
flapping crisply
window rolled down, head resting
smell of gasoline and the
heat
inside the greenhoused car
bus stop sign shudders to the sound
of trucks on their way
car door dings softly
replacing the nozzle
and it's hot, summer breathing
down your shirt
full
ready for the next errand
snap shut the gas cap
start up to blaring radio
drive into heat shimmer
and away
