I saw this like Eileen did.
It seems to me to be a person suffering from dementia, who is reliving a particularly vivid memory and trying desperately to return home according to what his personal (and altered), view of reality is. It doesn't even appear he has been outside at all, only imagined it, because parked beside the door could just as easily indicate on the inside, especially considering the alarms in this kind of care facility to keep such patients in.
Of the 4 poems presented so far, this is the one I like the best. The subject and its presentation resonate for me.
