A beat up Volkswagon on an
open highway that stretches
for 5,000 miles
Windows down, radio maxed,
barefeet on the dash, wind
in their hair
A loose grip on the wheel,
control left to emotion and
a pale pink sunset
Six seperate voices, all
singing to different tunes
White lines skimming the
rims of battered tires, each
piece of road portraying
the journey
Suitcases piled in the back with
barely any items inside
Easy living.
A joint passed back and forth,
saliva shared and breaths
inhaled, smoke filling
clean lungs
Euphoria in a blank painted
portrait of a gentle
horizon line
Green and white signs that
read 'California'
A guardrail that can't fence
anything in
Shared dreams
communicated with
impulse, hoped to
be achieved with
the sheer bit of
luck
Waking up tomorrow
to just keep going.
A new sun, a new day.

Part of growing up was learning not to be quite that honest- learning when it was better to lie; rather than hurt someone with the truth.

This is very pretty, very loose. I feel like you are trying to portray your eminent freedom. Whether you know it or not. Mark Doty in "Souls on Ice" says that, "Our metaphors go on ahead of us." I believe this is your fortune cookie Sara. You wrote it. You brain knew to write in a metaphor about the freedom you shall soon have. Get ready. Have fun. Good Luck.-Steve

I still kinda remember what it was like to be that hopeful and carefree...

So free and hopeful.
