Stretching out before me
hundreds of miles
of places I can go
behind me
all that I have seen before
all around me
that which is going on now
above me
that stuff I will never reach
no matter how hard I try
below all that is
buried and gone
and so after much thought
I decide
to sit down and watch
the new Reese Witherspoon flick
I ordered
on Netflix
