Tapered

the tapered It started with great ambition six lanes motorway after some time it narrowed and became a 4 line. That didn´t last it got narrower two lines will do. then on the road with a line in the middle and that was OK as well til the asphalt disappeared driving on grit causes many punctures. A track, get off an walk to reach the blue mountain- when getting there, it was slippery and cold. There must be another mountain that fits the dream. The highway was optimist youth pointing out stars not seeing the road got narrower, and it was too late. The trail is for old men who wait for a miracle or for someone telling them where to go when the path leads them to nowhere in particular while dreaming of dancing nymphs in the glade.
