Restrictions: None
the scenery between
highway of haste

         wheels spun
in determined direction
         crush all in view
on pavement.

determined vehicle
and lone occupant, me,
chew scenery together,
as memories roll with each reenactment.
different; but, the same outcome.

but, it can never be.
waysides remind me,
stop and stretch legs
from haste to escape
all left in your wake.

stop and view
in still quiet, dream.
create anew and stop
recreating the past.

be now instead of rolling
         town to town
to the stretches between.
         truly see
all you've passed
for an eternity, without
further introspection.

         Accept what's lost
on the highway of haste.


private 5.7.21
public after edit 5.14.21
re-edit 5.24.21

stop and smell the roses instead of trying to get back what you lost while ignoring the view in the moment or accepting the road you're own, the only remaining destiny.
