Along for the ride May 18, 2024

 

 

She should leave

The camera on

Her head

So we can see

Where we are going,

Making me take back

That off the cuff

Claim she looked

Silly with it,

Needing to keep it

Up there

As to see what she sees

And not the back

Of the horse’s mane,

Leaving us to imagine

What its like

On the journey,

Desperate to catch up

With that vision,

Which we miss

With the camera

On her chest,

I have no need

To see her in her

Regalia,

But would rather have

The camera fixed

To her forehead,

Like the lamp

On a coal miner,

She galloping through

The world with

No clear destination,

Just a giddy kid,

Thrilled by

Childhood dreams

That actually come true,

Letting the rest of us

Go along for the ride,

If only, we could see

Where we were going.
