I Got a Good Melon

Driving down the road
I am a space cadet.
The red stoplight of a school bus flashes.
My car stops on a dime.
"SCREEEECH".
I wait for the stop sign to collapse.
The bus starts moving.
I drive off to the country store
And pick out a good melon
And some sweet corn.
I feel my Pop Pop's presence.
In fact, I felt good all day
Like I hadn't since I was a youth.
I looked at old photographs
Reminisced on my Pap Pap with my mom
Remembering his black hair.
Don't space out while driving
No matter how good you feel.
