Turning, switching back and forth.
Driving from Dehradun to Mussoorie,
in the foothills of the Himalayas.
India, as always, is a hectic bustle.
As we drive, as always, I pass cool images,
a million per mile.
Mountains, clouds, monkeys.
If only, if only, I had the time to stop, get out,
and walk. Maybe I
could capture more,
more faces, more colors, more scenes of people,
people moving, moving, always forward.
As I ride, my head is on a swivel,
quickly looking this way and that,
afraid to blink, afraid of what I might miss.
A million per mile.
That’s how many
wonderful images, uncaptured,
flash by me as we go.
Time, time is the thing.
Oh, if only I could
slow down,
and catch
those
images...
