For Just A Second
 

Glimpses through the trees,

landscapes captured for a second

from the highways,

these are what is left of your

world when you don't pull over

and you are left with glimpses

soon covered up with

asphalt and concrete

bricks and mortar

and semi-trailers

Sometimes
 

- David Michael Jackson
