five easy pieces

i saw
the movie when i was
17
in a crowded theater
in georgetown.
i don't remember
the name of the girl i
was with.
a cousin of a friend
of mine,
someone i would
never see again.
but the ending of
the movie
has stuck with me through
all these years.
i have felt that way
many times,
wanting to just go,
to let go,
to leave everything
behind
and start over.
