the two lane highway

you drive
out of town, west
on 66, you need to go.
you need
a change of scenery.
a change
of venue.
tired of the same old.
the old faces,
the voices.
the same stores lit up.
the same roads.
the familiar
has grown
stale, grown old.
you're tired of what's on
tv,
what's in your phone.
you drive and drive
until nothing looks
like it did
back home.
you need the big sky,
the desert,
the ocean of sand.
you need the nothingness
of it all
with no one in your ears,
no one in your
eyes.
you drive.
