Upon reflection
it was a very fine trip.
Yes
there were days that I wished you were dead.
Certainly
I occasionally swerved off the road
praying for the sweet release myself.
There was a moment
with a stranger on a train
that I’d rather not discuss.

But for the most part
I was quite happy
with the voyage we undertook
and the adventures we had.
The scars were minor
after all
and the wounds will heal.
With enough time
I’m sure
I’ll be quite sure to find a new nose.
