The important thing
about travel
is getting there
Riding all night
Sitting cramps
Squirming and squeezing
Trying not to whine
Waiting for the next stop
I mean,
really waiting for the next stop
The important thing
about travel
is getting there
Good Stories
by Patrick Davis
They work from the inside
Stories bend us
They rend
They scar
They maim
Make us ashamed of not being better
But,
They also mold the outside
Stories make us stand
They build
They console
They encourage
Make us wonder if we really could
So,
They work magic both in and out
Stories change us
They knight us
They challenge
They inspire
Crown us kings and queens
If only for a page
