Seventeen With No Half In Between

Age is no better, hardly so well, qualified for an instructor as youth, for it has not profited so much as it has lost. - Thoreau

rockin', bumpy road

duct taped windows rolled clear down

happy eternal

Author's Note

"The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them." -Thoreau

You know what I find so fascinating about pieces like this? Its able to speak to a youth that maybe not everyone had, but yet, makes it feel like they did. It makes the experience feel universal despite personal circumstances. Perhaps the bumpy road and duct taped windows are not necessarily literal, but can be akin to personal awakenings or changes in pathways. Its real, its raw, its personal, without having to be legitimately about this exact moment. I appreciate pieces like this, they feel warm and real. Thank you for sharing!

who cares what the vehicle looks like as long as it can get us to love...duct tape is pretty strong...so are emotions...nice senryu...metaphorically speaking.

indeed. more weight to how we feel than how we/things look.
