because you could just walk away

as we wander
from here
to everywhere,


but really
nowhere,


it's just a matter
of
physics,
that there will be
dirt,
and shit,
and magnetic
debris,
that will eventually
form a film
around our eyes.


and within the haste,
of this journey,
you will never remember
to wipe your eyes.


then,
every once in awhile,
when you are tired,
and your feet
just need to take
a breath,


you will sit down,
on the side of the road,
almost like roadkill,


and there she is.


she is actually willing
to wipe the shit,
and dirt,
and debris
from your overexposed
eyes,
for free.


you let her.


and she cured
your fatigue,
every night,
for a lifetime,
if you let her.


but to you,
sitting is just a
disease,


and there is just everything
that you haven't seen.


you stand up,
and peer
into the darkness,
worse than a thief.
