Road Trip

Let’s find a road
That never ends
And find which ways
It curves and bends.
We’ll watch the meadows
Turn to towers
And trace the sidewalks
Lined with flowers.
We’ll pass the forests,
Rich, warm green,
And the biggest mansions
We’ve ever seen.
We’ll dream of indoor pools,
A stone fireplace,
And works of Monet
To fill the space.
Then we’ll drive on
Along a river
And roll up the windows
As we begin to shiver.
We’ll turn the radio off
As the streetlights go on
And fill the silence with a promise
To drive again at dawn.
