Oregon Highway 26 West | Stan Morrison
those unknown small side roads
that peel off the main route
mysterious and unexplored
what’s up with the dead ends
with the not-a-thru-streets
with the many nameless ones
who lives down the gravel lanes
what’s up those steep grades
a fleeting moment of suspense
never stopping allowing curiosity
eyes on the route cannot deviate
got to get somewhere 55 mph
