Road Trip

REM
The Fray
Nelly Furtado
Dave Mathews Band

cows, goats and crops
a skunk’s perfume lingers on
ungroomed trees portraying character
sunset clouds of orange, pink and purple

awareness of more than myself while gazing out the window
memories of yesterday and daydreams of tomorrow
imagining the past as a nomad, explorer, gypsy
stars, stars, stars… I missed seeing you

a small foot in my back… kicking me
another child snores softly
how old is this map?
are we there yet?
