Outside My Window

Outside My Window - Rondym Kiefe

There’s a dead man’s truck
Outside my window
They took his body
But they left his ride

Sometime past midnight
I heard the engine
Try to turn over
With no one inside

The headlights flickered
The brake lights flashed red
Keyhole was empty
Battery was dead

I sat up all night
Watching and waiting
‘til a vivid dream
Overtook my head

The truck was floating
Just above the ground
Shiny and restored
Playfully honking

The man rode shotgun
With the window down
Leading a parade
Waving and smiling

Then they sped away
Straight into the sun
Rising up like smoke
Inhaled by the light

I woke up startled
Sprang to the window
The truck had vanished
With the dark of night

I hurried outside
To search for answers
Some clues left behind
In the empty space

But when I arrived
Just moments later
A shiny new truck
Had taken its place
