I Thumbed My Way
Listen to poem:
I thumbed my way across the states,
flew over oceans. I lost myself in city crowds,
tried the boundaries of my brain's
inventiveness -- yet I did not outrun Time.
I did the things some young men do,
avoided others. Years shrunk the heights:
my expectations changed. I fell and climbed.
The journey still excites; the roads still wind.
And, still, there is much to see.
That will never become enough for me.
But I'll never outrun Time.
