One Thousand Miles, A Poem for the Road

A thousand miles into the ride,
Fifteen buffalo by the road's side,
Well met, strangers three,
Nutty girls from Mississippi.
Three dips in the hot springs,
Riding, flying, wheels are wings,
Alaska, Yukon, British Columbia,
Road behind, road in front of you.

(for those following along, Dad's a thousand miles in today, feeling good! Three nutty girls from Mississippi shared food with him, and he told them about us, his virtual road crew. Now they are memorialized in poetry. Thanks for sharing with Dad!)
