A quadrille poem
Life goes off track
veering, careening
sent round the bend
losing its meaning
outta shape
a beaten up banger
watching boots
gather dust on the hanger
Remember;
when you’re feeling blue
there’s always somewhere new …
a vans gotta do
what a vans gotta do.

There’s something about roadtrips that shifts the perspective for the better. A certain detachment, not belonging to one place, the psyche’s centre firm in any condition.

I believe so. Being free to roam – I feel it’s a basic instinct, a stowaway from our hunter gatherer days, most have buried beneath. There’s little more liberating, than to know you can go anywhere.
Thank you for your comment.

Darius, you must own a van 😀
Nobody mortal could write this who doesn’t own a van.

Well…..first I must say, I love the idea of “nicecissists “. I have always been a positive person….my daughter once said to me, “Mom, every movie can’t be The Sound of Music!” 🙂 And I always say, “I’ve been rejuvenated for 8 years now.” Never say “retired”.
As to your poem….you made me smile! A van’s gotta do what a van’s gotta do! LOVE it!
Thanks so much for posting to the prompt.
