The Roads Less Traveled
We turned off the main highway
summer break
because that is what we do
She wakes us better than the rest
I’ll tell you why-
beyond the steering wheel
past the bugs splattered on glass
across the dust-covered hood
we live but a moment
Boulders, bunnies and rain, no lights
this is where we truly live
where no one lives anymore
Just like us now
stuck in cities now
dead-end jobs now
dazed and empty of desire
The road less travelled promises redemption
with each
blind
curve
