Analysis of exit here
i love you like a biscuit
melted soft and heated sweet
the sign post marks the distance
30 miles, twenty feet
with each passing gated-farmhouse
each long-tongued, wagging cow
i water for the taste of it
only 19 miles now
the buttered, floured memory
of your golden yellow kiss
has left me as a beggar
wanting more, tasting bliss
1 mile left to your truck stop
i can hardly feel my feet
as they lunge onto your doorstep
your smile, my hunger
let's eat
