Radio Static
I remember lying on stiff black leather
Cool enough to give me goosebumps and cold chills
Seat belt clips occasionally jolting my side
Struggling to position myself adequately
Listening to the scarce sound of passing cars
And a static baseball game on the radio
Incapable of making out most of the words
But not necessarily trying to
Eyes tired but not quite sleepy
Eyelids drooping but not heavy enough to close
Ogling at the once velvety floor mat
Now ridden with crumpled brown leaves and crumbs from things long forgotten
Thick cornfields and stars bright and abundant enough to light up the entire sky
Abandoned buildings never explored
But somehow familiar enough to press a heavy nostalgia on my chest
That no words will ever quite be able to perfectly explain
