Along the way

Not so fast there...

At what point did you realize
the number of those miles
you drove across the country
were more than the ones you have in front of you?

There were many off ramps and detours
that looked pretty nice
from the rear-view mirror,
yet you kept to your path.

Would it have hurt
to have stopped,
taken a leak,
gotten a cup of coffee
and moved into a new home
on one of those other roads?

Ah fuck it, the destination
before midnight is still ahead
and that coffee back there
probably tasted like crap.
