If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?
If I had a freeway billboard
I would leave it empty
so imagination could step in
a pause
for eyes tired of color and command
an empty slate
light as feathers
on the freeway of life
moving
through sun
through rain
curiosity lingering
about what might come next
no slogans to borrow
nothing to copy
nothing to paste
just wind passing
metal frame breathing
cars carry their own stories
unread
uninterrupted
a moment without instruction
no arrows
no promises
only the road
stretching
and the mind
loosening its grip
thoughts slow down
like traffic after rain
nothing is asked
nothing is sold
and somehow
that is enough
