so we're driving up to middlebury college, right? and we're on this scenic windy road and i'm being all sarcastic-like and whenever we see signs of life; i.e., we see a car and i freak out. or we see a person and i'm all like "we have to pull over and say hi!"
y'know, stuff like that. but when i notice that we have no signal on the phone, i also realize... we could easily die and nobody would know for a loonngg time. my mom thought it would be a good time to mention that she cancelled onstar...
so we also went to this nice chinese restaurant in middlebury, which is this awesome, quaint little town that i am officially in love with. i was convinced that the restaurant, from my hazy summer memories, was in one place, but my when we asked for directions, it was totally somewhere else. then i realized that we parked in one place, and walked to that totally somewhere else place. it all made sense...
so here i am, sitting in this lovely little inn in a giant room on the pull-out bed, typing up a post.
and because i saw zoe's poem, i decided to share one of mine.
just a jog
the rhythmic pounding of your feet becomes the backdrop
to a new scene, a new world, a new time
and all around things slow to a stop
full reign is handed over to The Mind
it calls upon the imagination
to see what it can find
a word becomes a new creation –
you keep running
