A gateway
A bridge
A portal
To adventure

I love
A ferry
The magic carpet
Of roadtrips
Gawd
I love
A ferry
The magic carpet
Of roadtrips
Towering
Above the land
Which for a thousand miles
Has known only sky
And a horizon
Beyond infinity
We enter here
By the millions
Entranced
And where others see
Monotony
Or mundanity
I discover
Exquisite
Subtlety
I stop
Reconnoitre
Check the maps
Consider my options
Except for some times
I long for the road
And its gift of living
One mile at a time
