THE ROAD TO NOWHERRE



Cul-de-sac. A route leading nowhere. 
No  Beginning. No end.
I can't get lost.
I can't go far.
On this ride to nowhere.

    What I can do is imagine.
While my chair's motor hums.
I zoom past houses at breakneck speed.
Feeling free.
Feeling alive.
(Five miles per hour.)

Stories, characters, this post.
All take shape in my head.
I keep riding.

I pass the same person mowing their lawn.
 (Approximately five times.) 
Time for my ride to end. 
I don't want the neighbors to think I am crazy.

The road to nowhere does in fact lead somewhere.
It leads to creativity.
