As If It Was

i was daydreaming when i pulled up
it was not generally considered
she had asked the question
the woman said, and the answer was
experience no matter what

we were all a little
we knew we should leave
driving slowly down
our energy spent. partly it was
youth, i suppose, and all
but however as if it was

to the last, we
raised our eyes and saw

this then, it is the

that which always
that had always been
never find her in this

never find her moved forward up
two steps forward one step back
