We were ready,

fully prepared.

We were primed

for the journey ahead.



Stocked up,

ready to roll,

armed with checklists

for the journey ahead.



We switch vehicles,

switch seats,

switch perspectives.



Taking turns driving parked cars

6 speed transmission imagination

sometimes the clutch

sticks.



We made progress,

promise, potential.

We made plans

for the journey ahead.



Bumping rhythms,

sitting low,

shaking foundations

for the journey ahead.



We switch vehicles,

switch seats,

switch perspectives.



Suddenly the road splits, read the signs

the same destination either way,

but the distances are all

fuzzy.



Splitting,

covering ground,

now I’m hitch hiking

for the journey ahead.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

My cousin and I had just finished collaborating musical ideas and just hangin out. This poem relates our parting of ways to the literal and figurative driving we'd been doing, inspired by my reflection on the drive home.
