In the Journey
This morning’s clouds and fog are a god’s wet washcloth wrung out and smothered down on the earth like a mother cleaning a child’s face. Unbelievably there are blaze-orange vested workers doing something workerish in the highway’s median. The wheels of a semi hauling an undisclosed liquid chemical picks up the damp the asphalt roadway couldn’t absorb and my daughter calls out familiar landmarks. “McDonalds! Target!”
