on the way to berkeley

                                      we stop at the highway rest stop
for a piss and a stretch of the legs
the view of vacaville is astonishing the rollercoasters of the
theme park are stationery and silent for the season

then it happened a man returned from the loo to his car
used his car key to open the door and then behind the wheel
unfolded a paper map of california

                                                    as we ordered our doors
open via a button on the key fob
and punched our destination into the phone
