Rearview Window

Gargoyle, Rite-Aid, Frenz & Sons, Downtown, 696, Quicken Exit, Novi. . . . As each common place faded out of my rearview window I couldn’t help but wonder when I would be there again. Might I stay in South America for a long time, a short time, forever, who knows? I do know that my home has been metro-Detroit for the past 2 ½ years and I think I’m actually going to miss it. It’s a funny thing to leave a place of commonality, all those Friday night hang outs, those last minute dinner purchases, those gas station songs and the good times at home. I’ll miss you metro-Detroit and maybe, some day, I’ll return.
