The Black Keys roll on in the background.
Rock music and refrigerator static never mix.
Muted traffic from outside the hotel window
Adds an extra element of space.
I am not alone.
The music ends, and the space between is infinite.
I can hear your voice echo in my head.
“What song is next? When will Tyler get back?”
Rob Zombie haunts through the speakers.
I’m a super beast, the one that you wanted.
And yet, you’re about 70 miles south in a place
I’ll never know again, in a space we’ll never share.
A place that is as infinite as the space between songs.
