Thoughts from the Road Ike Built (REVISED)

My brain tries to escape my eye sockets.
I’ve driven this road for hours, days, decades.

I was born out here,
between the orange pylons and overpasses.

On the road, it seems, you're always almost home.
Headlights are a skyline of a lonely city.

Think I’ll stop counting the miles now, think I’ll sing,
If this five hundred mile migraine ever subsides.
