the six-hour drive
is easier every time
i’ve become adept
at snack-based
stay-awake strategies
my foot has
plenty of
stamina for the
gas pedal
on those
Grapevine inclines
makes me think
i might be ready
to extend the
distance
aim my car
at farther-away
places
make all those
road trip visions
a reality
so much
is possible
i need only
be willing.
