Cement Ribbons- White Stretching far horizons.
Strips of Tar – Black Bubbling in the summer sun.
Unpaved by-roads- brown lanes of rutted dirt.
White Roads Salesmen hurrying from state to state. Business vans scurrying to keep their date. Soldiers and sailors who can’t be late. Trucker with cargos that can’t wait.
Black Roads Wives taking husbands to the 8:04. Baker’s delivering bread to the door. Children riding to scholastic war. Mailmen making their rounds once more
Brown Roads Nature lovers slowly ride. Tractors pulling combines wide. Man and dog walk side by side. Groundhogs sit and try to hide.
