INSPIRATION

clock in
when days blend together
from the monotony of drone-work
click, type, save
and you'd rather be somewhere
other than where you are
print, copy, distribute
when lunches are an escape
from the repetition of tasks
check mail, reply, forward
instead of recharging your effort
you wish that you could quit
ring, mumble, hang up
for god's sake, you need a break
to forget that you're a wage-slave
and fucking go anywhere
rather than where you are
clock out

Sometimes, you just have to get the hell out of town.


DEPARTURE

enter
you make a resolution
to leave your drab existence
sit, ignition, motion
and drive at least a day
before you're satisfied
revolution, pavement, time
sure, towns all look the same
from ten thousand feet
drinks, snacks, re-fueled
but they seem to be unique
from your car's perspective
music, thoughts, distance
switch from Tom Petty to Outkast
and then back to complete silence
you've driven more than a day
so you stop, satisfied
exit

Even the fire & brimstone billboards couldn't ruin your hope.


ARRIVAL

awake
a new day, some new people
fresh perspective, a new town
observe, absorb, listen
and giving a little effort
surely you'll find adventure
settle, react, participate
the confederate-painted roof
on the diner you're drawn to
engage, debate, enliven
serves as a reminder
that at least you're somewhere else
share, make friends, experience
as the alcohol flows later
with a mix of laughter and fists
you make it back to your room
exhausted from your adventure
sleep

The black eye and the phone number are proof that you've lived.


RETURN

you start to reflect
abandoned salt mines
and rusted tractor parts
give a bleak reminder
of what you're driving back to
did you miss your exit?
you follow the arrows
to a truck stop bar, stocked
with dollar drafts and a peep show booth
anything to prolong the return
some porn does not turn you on
switch from Supertramp to Foo Fighters
then back to the howling wind
aided by freezing temperatures
the only things keeping you awake
nobody knew you were gone

You check your tread wear, and you know.
Your brief hiatus shattered, reality appears.

For some reason, this reminded me of Momento.

Thank you for justifying why this whole to-do is worth it.

I sure hope I don't have to face you in this contest.

On the other hand, maybe I do.

Sometimes, you just have to get the hell out of town.

Roadtrips are exciting and tiring and beautiful and frustrating and pensive and social and important and it's been too long.

8 minutes to spare


Marge: You don't have to join a freak show just because the
opportunity came along.

Homer: You know, Marge, in some ways you and I are very different
people.
