The Highway

look at the stream of life, the

streaming of consciousness,

each in their own contained,

Untouchable

bubble. their private world, heading

in one direction, toward

 

One destination.

 

yet separate, disparate, diverging,

Disassociating. Why is this? as

machines show no recognition, so

too, is the car’s shell aptly

assumed; purposeful, intent, yet is this

humanity?

 

oh but there is not time to

Stop. to think reflect muse wonder for,

the stream continues, rushing…

flashing… by, in a droop, a mere

flutter,

of the eye. is this an

 

Escape?

 

the final great escape? or just

Life

as we know it.
