ODE TO THE ROAD TAKEN

Having—already attended
the goddamn

thing this far—I thought;
might 
as well lower

your rented ear 
down
to this—American ground 

and just accept—right here
the final 
verdict as rendered.

It's not as if—The Dream 
is over—

I heard—then waited
for 
the better 

part 
of an hour 

before finally appending—on my own
as I rose

with a smirk
it's more like—
the dream is ended.
