The Obscene Gesture of A Milestone


Although the lines these lanes draw
meet at the eternity
We do not see that while parallel-driving.

Then, our ignorance holds more truths
than some knowledge and a theory.

We pass a few grazing cows, drills,
a mill without a single operating hand
and some trees withered and waiting.

As we drive the first rain hits 
our car roofs as if 
clouds have borne 
the long-term wait's weight until
We drive past a certain milestone.

Shouldn't it state the distance to eternity?
Instead, one digit almost erased
expresses an obscenity.
