Not All Who Are Lost Wander


 I hit a pothole in the black top, 
deep enough to force a Mac Truck 
full stop. 
But my hatchback was synched to Iggy Pop
And the car’s backbeat sustained the song’s 
daring hop--

“Got a Lust for Life.”

The license plate on the grey sedan 
I was behind,
 read, “PERDU 1”

And a blue car crossed the broken line 
with a license plate that replied, 
“PSHERPA.”

And I followed them around the curve 
that hugged the water line, 
and the sun pulled me closer to an ending,
and I was unafraid.

I like it.
The Iggy Pop reference reminds me of when Iggy crawled onto my lap at a concert.

Was it at his concert? Because it would be funnier if it was not. :D
