he only has one song now

he heard it in the car on the ten freeway, the freeway is named after a black woman
who wouldnt get off the bus in the 60's, but now it was her freeway
the song started with whistling, he had heard it before, he liked, but now,
he hears it, he really hears it, hes hearing it here, hes hearing it hear
he turned on the yellow blinking thing to say sorry to what he was going to do,
swearving across five lanes, waving, get to the side of the road
this city is her city now, this is the freeway he never used with her
yet i use it everyday, everyday

he pulled the car off the side of the road and turned the stereo up
why has she never seen this freeway?
Im going to stop right here, on the side of the freway
th 10 freeway
before venice
near bundy
im going to stop at the side of the freeway with her and play this song
this song
