This moment on the road <br />St. Louis to Chicago <br />on a sunny day, <br /> <br />AC breze in my face, <br />hat band a little tight on my head, brim <br />coming down into my field of vision, <br /> <br />pen in hand, notebook <br />poised on the steering wheel, <br />specks of dirt on the windshield, <br /> <br />my body at perfect <br />rest on the cushioned seat <br /> <br />as the soothing green <br />corn and trees slide by <br />on both sides of the highway, <br /> <br />120 miles from St. Louis,180 to Chi, <br />2250 since I left California, <br /> <br />58 years,4 1/2 months <br />since the day of my birth <br />& who knows, till my death, <br /> <br />this moment in time, <br /> <br />many joys and horrors <br />vanished beyond <br />the horizon of the past, <br />their titrations residing as memories <br /> <br />this moment <br />I am competely happy<br /><br />Max Reif<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-moment/
