lunchtime jibber jabber

I sit in my car
9:42

(hey, 42 is a sign)

(WHY AM I ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SIGNS)

watching the blink of the 
light outside the cafeteria 
flash like morse code
attempting to decrypt

as if this is a message from the
universe for me,
an oracle answer to
questions I'm afraid to think

now my 
SERVICE ENGINE SOON
light has (again) lit up
orange, bold, urgent

(for once)
I don't even care,
there's too much
depth in this night

(for once)
I don't even need to 
force myself to 
stay
