Are We There Yet
Are We There Yet
David J Walker
Are we there yet?
We whispered in prayer
As if asking from the
Back seat of our old
Desoto
The father driving
The mother smiling
Across the bench seat
From each other unbuckled
Are we there?
The whine of the wheels
Is the silent answer
Turning against an asphalt clock
Pushing back the lost past
On the trek to a
Somewhere else destination
Are we there yet?
As the windshield wipers
Brush away the
teardrop reminders
Of the time spent on the journey
As restless children
Are we there yet?
Rhetorical as we change
Seats with our parents
Now content in the back
Wondering how long
The road they chose
To travel
