Road Tripping
life on the road, or something like that
The open road on a sunny day,
middle of nowhere, middle of May.
Radio cranking, windows down.
Nothing but highway, no one around.
.
Through the windshield, what do I see?
A speck on the road, coming right at me.
The closer it got, the stranger it seemed.
A road mirage, a waking dream?
.
My curiosity was running wild,
as I closed the gap to about a mile
I shook my head and rubbed my eyes,
my mouth fell open in great surprise
.
Right there in the other lane
ever closer, on it came.
Something I’d never seen before;
a man riding high on a dinosaur
.
As we passed, his face a grin,
he gave a nod, with his chin,
from his perch on the creature’s neck
(I do believe that it was a T-Rex).
.
On I drove and he in a trot;
was it real, or was it not?
To this day, I do not know,
but anything’s possible on the open road.
