no V for me

the other day, on the side of the road, all that was green was black. it was covered with birds; and just as my light went green so did the grass. the birds, what seemed like thousands of them, alighted together.

and i wished i could have been like them. free to fly but safe in their V, together, sure that at their final destination, they will not be alone.

i wished so much to be like those birds. migrating safely together.

but instead i go it alone.

just the open road. and the scary, unpredictable future.
