The Mother Road
01:39 Windmill RV Park; McLean, Texas :: 17 SEP 97
John Steinbeck devoted a full chapter of his epic roadtrip, The Grapes of Wrath, to Route 66. Five words of that chapter — three words, really — captured everyone’s imagination. Three words.
The Mother Road
“66 is the mother road,” wrote Steinbeck. Poetry. Evocation.

Oddity
I love the odd
The unusual
The idiosyncratic
The unusual
The idiosyncratic
I love being
In the places
I might only imagine
From a sci-fi author’s words
I love to photograph them
Then tweak the image
To enhance
Their oddity
Unlimited
The truth is
I’ve rarely discovered
My own limits
I’ve rarely discovered
My own limits
Walls
Real and perceived
Have two sides
The one I’m on
The one I’m not
It is a rare wall
Which cannot be defeated
Which allows no means
To the other side
Canary, Amber and Orange
Under a sky
So ridiculously
Canary, Amber and Orange
My presence seems
To be the true miracle
So ridiculously
Canary, Amber and Orange
My presence seems
To be the true miracle
How is it possible
There is such glory
In this universe
And how improbable is it
That I am its witness?
Rust ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #22
Time seems so merciless
And malicious
And malicious
Until I look again
And see the beauty
In the dilapidated
The strength
In the distressed
The resilience
In the rusted
Inexplicable Appeal
Some works of art
Have an inexplicable appeal
Have an inexplicable appeal
Nostalgia
Mixed with quirkiness
Leavened by wit
And insight
