On Sunset Highway (Rte 2), Heading East


Suspended in time and space
The taut road ahead
Shimmers, a twisted steel cable
Stretched across the pale yellow hilltops

I scan the sunrise
Back mercifully to the wind
and sodden shore
I am an inchworm inching my way
Above the crowd

I am a Great Wallenda, 
Gripping the balance beam
Holding the pose
Sliding one slipper
Ahead of the of the other, steadily
In perfect tune
Two wheels firmly planted
on the high line
