    On the Road Again

    Keith Vient

    I thought about going straight
    along the old road out of town
    that winds around houses, behind the corn.
    How easy would it be to not turn left,
    to go with the clock of the Earth.
    I thought about it many times
    but each time supper grew cold.
    My rocking chair is my throne,
    My porch my kingdom, and my swath of land,

    and the unknown worlds around it.
    It is summer again, my hands are dry,
    revealing many more lines
    than any palm-reader could decipher.
