To Nowhere

The gravel grinds 
Beneath the tires of my car. 
Bumpity bumpity bump, 
Air rushes under the car 
For a split second 
Until the old rubber 
Hits the pavement once more. 
All the houses are behind me now, 
The gas station too. 
The town is in my rearview, 
Fading into the background. 
Outside my windows, 
There is nothing 
But the empty desert 
And the scattered creosote. 
A snake here, 
A jackrabbit there, 
My speed slows. 
I am in no hurry; 
I'm going nowhere in particular. 
Just like this road, 
This strip of dirt in the sand, 
This road that leads 
To Nowhere.
