once upon an adventure

the world is yours so take it over.

take over the road and find a farm 

in Lima

where lies the piece of your heart you've been missing.

soak in the shine

of the best monday you've had in a decade

then eat the famous burgers

and sweet sugar pie.

stick your arm out the window and let your hand fly

in the rush of the country breeze.

this road leads to anywhere

somewhere you've never been

so take it and find yourself

in Bell-frickin, Ohio,

heading toward West Libertarianism

until you stop for ice cream

just because the sign is hot pink flashing

lights lined with lime

and the best butterscotch milkshake

ever.

spit your gum out the other person's window

just because it's fun to watch them jump

and hear them squeal.

then drive

and watch the sun dust the golden rowed fields

with a brush dipped in rose and lavender, 

light dripping over treetops

and you know your heart is free,

and safe.

drive--

sing old 90s music and be young--

until the end of the road.

then turn and drive

back home where you began

because tomorrow is tuesday.
