Day 2 of the Poet Asides #novpad challenge: "Use an epigraph to kickstart a poem."
“If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.” Lewis Carroll
SIDE ROADS
Diners I'd never find on the beaten path
Lost cities of sausage gravy
Stopping by a farm to ask directions
Discovering a colony of six-toed cats
Cornfield dead end
that forces me out of the car
In time to be swallowed
by the August sunset
