We speed
down this highway
ignoring the signs
but enjoying the neon
vacancy
a place to rest
our heads, eyes
glossing over
fine print lines
on the way
to magic
fingers
beds
we don't have to make
just lie
in
try to remember
to leave
a tip
turn off the water
on the way out

You say leaving
I look at this one as more
RUNNING
hocking the house, the baggage and maybe a kidney
To just have the freedom to fucking drive
To the next place
Where all thats left after the do not disturb signs and the messed up room is the lingering scent of freedom
"Ignoring the signs"
Allusion to the leaving, the questions?
Turn off the water on the way our, so polite of you

Some of the best lines I've read in a while...
"but enjoying the neon
vacancy "
"glossing over
fine print lines
on the way
to magic "

Leaving our responsibilities behind for a while. There is no greater feeling, surely? This poem has a real rock drive, 'made for the highway' vibe about it.
ZZ Top, Motorhead & all that! ;-)
