Sun and rain burrow deep
Into paint and the past
Revealing transitions
And the names of those
Lost to time and memory
Into paint and the past
Revealing transitions
And the names of those
Lost to time and memory
They rest
Unlike rust
And the elements
Chewing away
At ephemera
Lifetimes broken
Like glass shattered
By a casual stone
From a young boy’s
Hand
It’s just
That easy
For time
The harsh mistress
Route 66

Missouri, United States of America
