"Yellow L(g)i(h)f(t)e"

Can we please slow down?
I would like
to get off.

Anywhere
is fine.

Can you please not smile like that,
I don't think you're right
in the head.

[[[GRIND]]]
...to a halt!

(smile unbroken)

yes, we'll step off here

Where to, chap?

That fine-looking drug-store?

We need three daysworth
of sleep and no, ma'am,
needles are not a problem.

Dear Lord, I am an incorrigible oaf.
I appear to have emptied nearly half
my tobacco with all the frantic
rolling between stops.

Here.  Have my lucky, sport.

--THREE DAYS LATER--

They say it's been raining since we arrived.

"L"

I'm throwing love
at you
like your father
threw chairs.

Hold still--
let me wet
those chapped
lips.
