I traveled 

the sunny side 

  bacon over freeway

     to harrumph harrumph

     emptiness was my thought  

   but it twerent to be

   scrub and sage and politics in black rocks 

one valley after the next

  slightly different 

in rock color or shrub shades

  Hues I couldn't or wouldn't bother

  to describe

signs were a welcome distraction

 at least I knew what highway 

I was on
