Moving...

...down the road 

as I follow 

one of many 

U Haul trailers 

being pulled 

by a passenger car 

followed closely 

by a husband or a wife 

in another 

car or truck.  

Driving very carefully 

over the high 

Colorado mountain passes, 

not to belie 

being so terribly 

stressed and tired 

from all the days 

leading 

to this 

current move.  

A lost job 

or a new 

opportunity.  

Off to a new adventure 

or to move 

because 

there is 

no money left.  

A U Haul trailer 

pulled down the highway 

as point in life 

indicating change.  

A point of 

a lost opportunity 

or a new adventure. 

After all 

their slogan is,

 "An adventure in Moving."  

An adventure 

that I would rather miss.
