Before she pulls off
He makes sure she’s safe and
Buckled in before they begin
Their conversation
The stimulation of his listening ear
The way he listens is
Not of this world and
Neither is she
The people in the other cars be
Lookin
They be looking at them half crazy
Crazy Like the crazy type that be talking to themselves
But she is never alone and
She knows it
And maybe they do too
As she drives and
As she stops talking she
Be listening and he
Be telling her everything she needs to know but
The silence is loud as ever
So loud that the people on the street
Are overcome by his words
The power of these words that
They haven’t even heard but
If they listened to him like her they
Too could have this stimulation and
This conversation
Some of the people called her a loon and
Some of the people called her a fool but
All she was doin was talking to God on her way to school
