the enormous blue sky

i throw
the map into the back seat
of the car,
turn
off the navigation
system,
shut down my phone.
i'm lost.
but i'm not lost.
i'm actually fine out here
in the country
on this long
country road,
alone.
i keep driving past
rows and rows
of corn.
has the sky ever been this blue?
people wave to me
from their porches.
cows moo,
horses neigh.
it's a good feeling to
be nowhere,
lost but not lost,
to be so
far away from home.
