Taking It to Town

Tossing Tolls

We cannot disconnect the distance,

Yet we pick our own persistence –

Spending hours

Raising towers,

Or digging deep to make a difference.

Constructing altars, harried souls,

We chase abandoned, empty goals.

Unless we choose

To let go, lose,

We waste our wonders tossing tolls.
