my words
trails for fingertips
upon pages
trace carefully
for my journey
is intricate and long
pay attention
for the checkpoints,
the landmarks,
the history
for these words
are my paths
along this life
each sentence a highway
that I got caught
speeding on every day
another poem
to shove in the glove box
then I am off
to chase lightning
and try to catch the sun
