“American dream,
a spouse,
a brace of children,
cuddly pets,
coffee-table books,
rusted skeleton keys,
plastic cauliflower bags,
business cards of business-card printers,
a mound of used airmail envelopes.
Old house on moving day,
all echoes and loneliness.”
― Fresh Oil and Loose Gravel: Road Poetry by Brian D'Ambrosio 1998-2008
