Travel

Travel

It used to be exotic
I remember Wow
riding on the turnpike
going to the mountains
stopping at a motel
a pool please, please

I remember delight
the journey was
the destination, alive
seeing new places
mysterious, wonderful
searching

I still search
between the sprawl
for anything unique
get a window seat
marvel at the sights
on cloudless days

beneath, I figure out
where we are, I think
wish they would say
while all around me
people sleep, read
journey my destination
