The urge to travel is not so strong
as the urge to travel back, take roads
already travelled where directions are
given in the question, “Remember this?”
and some destination beyond the four
cardinal points comes into view. I am
travelling more along those roads that
have brought me to where I am.
If I wasn’t such a fool trying to separate
what can’t be divided, I’d see the roads
I travel are the roads taking me
to no other place I can be.
What Catches Us
Often we forget
the destination
we have arrived
at remembering
what stopped
us along the way.
-Byron Hoot
