Far away into the night
they traverse together
enjoying the sites
Companionable silence
erupts into fights before stillness
once more rides the roads
One in his world of earthly delights
the other immersed in electronic respite
so close together so very far apart
Two ships in a storm
not passing not moving
tangled together by histories anchor
Neither willing to break the old mold
afraid of ruining a lifetime of work
while leaving the lonely one at home
