No Services This Exit Shhhh Contest

Trailers sprout from desert floor Tombstones marking the graves of my aspirations. Tumbleweeds snag remnants of dreams And blow across macadam prairie. A highway carries hope far past this place Of broken dreams and suffocating despair, But me the mountains trap; they surround me, And I'll not see home again.

At first I couldn't understand your comment, but now that I read it again--and realize everyone here is familiar with my humor--I get it now. It's actually about moving to Boise and not being happy about it. Great insight.
