Late autumn light

 I felt like I couldn't stay inside another moment.
I felt hemmed in by my four walls and the walls of suburbia.

I needed to get out to find someplace new, something new to look at.

So I drove out of my driveway,through miles of suburbia

passing the boxy strip malls and row after row of identical houses.

Houses gave way to barns 

and athletic fields to pastures.

I wove my way through back roads racing the light

and caught it just before it disappeared.
