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.
