The Roads I've Taken: rough notes
I have ridden the weathered spine of America
U-Hauling my possessions along Route Sixty-Six.
In Paris, I lived on the Street
of the Bridge
of the Cabbages
and in the Heart of Rohan.
I have driven from Miami to Maine
and Carolina to California.
When I hitch-hiked the Autobahn,
there were bunnies in the median.
In the mile between checkpoints
from Schmilka to Hřensko
I picked the wild cherries.
I walked the seven hours
from Teplice to Terezín,
from life unto death.
