Escape is Everything 
November 8, 2009
File under: Miscellany Bucket

The escape is everything. The car with the top down, and a tornado's worth of wind in the back seat, and our hair is crazy in it. We dangle our arms outside the open windows and the wind tosses them like skinny kites. We're shouting and screaming and singing and laughing, and the wind and the car engine are both roaring angry gods. Everything we ever knew is in the rear view mirror, getting smaller, and the road in front of us is infinity miles long; and we've got a full tank of gas.
