Passion for Travel

in the fashion of a family
visiting a natural park
I drive myself from here
to there through chests
of giants felled for me
long before I was or in
the fashion of a family
visiting a natural park
driving straight the dark
between now and then
here and there a quarrel
slow and square inside
the smooth shape of a
leased and modest vessel
driving us all shaking through
little tunnels through the years
