(your mileage may vary)

you say that finding me is the end
of the road
for you
and this is the greatest
consolation i think
i can take
especially since my own road's
gone a hell of a long
way
like the two hundred miles
for example
driven once
from austin to san angelo
on a day off
just for the hell of it
and to watch the live oak and
juniper turn
by gradations almost too subtle to
notice
into sand and mesquite
and then into the sudden promise
of space
which i could only just taste
before turning around
and driving back
through the deer-haunted hills
in the dark
