the long drive

i was lost on
the road, and she
was absolutely no
help at all as i
wandered sans gps,
around and around
in this strange
city with no guide
posts to put me
where i wanted to
go. so we circled
while she talked
about God and love
and marriages gone
bad, and i talked
pretty much about
the same exact thing.
and we circled and
went around and
around, through
the tunnel, then
back through it
the other way. it
became more about
us talking about
our lives, our
nature, our wisdom
gained through
trials and the
blessings that
follow. we were
less concerned about
being lost on
the road and more
concerned about
finding a different
sort of home
and the driving
aimlessly was
helping us in
that direction.
