i begged him to

road trip to nebraska with the
only man i ever let under my skin

my brother was graduating high school
i hadn't been back in nearly 7 years

we passed the "north platte - 12" sign
as i begged him to jerk himself off

a strange question
he wanted to know why here, why now

because, there are oats here that need sowing
and my hands were busy with the wheel

the requested pulling
started slow

quicker and quicker i watched him
peripheral vision, sneaky glances

he

rolled down the glass
stuck his hand out
leaving white silk
floating in the wind

on a roadtrip to the place
where i was extracted
