Night Road

With a tinny
voice and guitar,
The Smiths ache
from my car’s
stereo as I
trace the lonely,
muted
double yellow lines that travel

on the indifferent,
dispassionate,
black concrete highway

perpendicularly for infinity,
never
caressing.

what if "The Smith's tinny voice and guitar/ache..."? i like your syntax here, and the last stanza is right on, but i think playing with the line breaks might prove beneficial.

Yes, it's very simple, and I am not sure if the imagery is fantastic, but I'd prefer it that way in this instance. =]

I really like this, it describes quite well what it's like driving for a long time.
