PROMPT: Cross-Country

Daily writing prompt
You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?

All of the above. Any of the above. And don’t forget “feet.” (A more specific answer requires knowing what country is being crossed. The plan of attack for crossing Singapore is much different than for crossing Russia.)

In an Ancient Town [Free Verse]

Tourists walk an ancient town,
Hoping a residue of its past
Will cling to them...

But not too much:
Not the plagues,
Not the torture,
Not the petty monarchs
& aristocrats,

Just some romantic notion.

Is it sunset? Sunrise? Both? Neither? It was like this for an hour or so when I was in Finland during the Summer. Never getting fully dark.
