Each day, I count the highway signs as I pass by, hoping to follow them all and tattoo them on my skin with the dust of my tires.
Each day, I drive the same route to work and then home, wishing, just once, my heart would go off-road.
Each night, I mournfully regale the moon with tales of journeys great men traveled, trips brave women blazed, and my own bland, listless meanderings between work and then home.
Each night, the Moon beckons me to chase the horizon with open arms, calls vehemently for the chained thing beating in my breast to fly headfirst into the Unknown.
