Description A dusty unfrequented road,
one of few travelers but myself,
for I have no Peter to be my rock,
too much time on my clock,
and no direction to take,
for the fork in my road,
goes many ways.

Glaring down an endless highway,
wondering what's at the end,
or if my car will run out of gas,
before I reach a station,
so I ration,
in a lonely fashion,
till the end of days.

Now I found my destination,
nowhere,
an endless journey of impossible impossibilities,
redundancy and monotonosity becomes me,
as the wheel burns away the skin of my hands,
and it turns slowly under my control,
and I find myself lost.

If only I had a map,
and each road wasn't rigged as a trap,
for each one has it's ups and downs,
with many abandoned towns,
the dust blows on past my feet,
and I stand waiting now.

A little from frost, but I still didn't quite say the words that I wanted to. I got some of it right, because I took a nap, and I had a quaint little dream where I was ranting a piece of poetry to myself while I turned to dust. It was a very weird dream, but I think the lines went a little more like,

I walk a lonely dusty road,
the only one I've ever known,
all my friends left me behind,
I was stuck here all the while,
made all the difference,
without the courage to change myself,
tried to keep my faith,
but lost it in myself,
Sitting all alone now,
decaying in this hell,
because I couldn't make a choice,
because I didn't have a voice,
now I'm left to be,
just me.
