Friends

Driving through the summer months was a pastime we both enjoyed
I kept the window down to feel the heat
It’s easier to muse when the trees are whipping past
"If you squint it's like a slow-motion movie"
An ambient soundscape guides my thoughts
these feelings are more important when I rest my head on the window

The poem "Friends" captures a sense of nostalgia and companionship through the shared experience of driving in the summer. The imagery of the window down, feeling the heat, and the trees passing by creates a vivid scene. The line "If you squint it's like a slow-motion movie" adds a unique perspective to the moment, suggesting a desire to savor and prolong the experience. The reference to an ambient soundscape guiding thoughts adds depth to the sensory experience. The closing line, "these feelings are more important when I rest my head on the window," conveys a sense of introspection and emotional connection to the moment. Overall, the poem effectively conveys a sense of shared memories and the significance of simple moments spent with a friend.
