Progress:
There is nothing like it
only the chug of an engine
crawling up a hill
racing down the other side
gears grinding
to slow it’s momentum
the engineer that is the writer
constantly switching tracks until
completely lost
in an undergrowth of words and rusted tracks
but faithfully backtracking into the open
until once again chugging along
not knowing for sure where the tracks will lead
but seeing a light at the end of the tunnel
and hoping it’s not another train.
“I was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy.”
~ Marie Curie
