HOW FAR

there's a bend
in the road in front

a spot where
the cars & hikers
move out of sight

standing on the roadside

I watch them go

and it's nicer
when they appear
suddenly out of nowhere

like the return
of a distant hope

cars of different colors

and humans

of different colors

from a distance
they look similar

as they walk out of the bend

to reach
their desired place
in the end

or to move on like me
to see

how far you can move.
