MOMENTARY BREAK IN THE MONOTONY
The cliff-lined highway was stagnant. We had been
driving for hours that ticked by like years, our vision
colored in the mundane tones of clay. At first we tried
to pass the time, counting sedentation levels as if they were
lifelines inside a fallen tree, tried to guess the rock wall’s
age as if we cared. Soon we were shaking
off tendrils of sleep, afraid of dreaming we were falling,
dislodged from this massive giant pinning us to the edge.
We concentrated on keeping our eyes open, faces and hands
pressed against car window, vigilantly searching
for that lone pebble that could trigger avalanche
of car-crushing rocks.
