The road home is long and it runs and runs
across busy towns and lonely villages,
through express routes, flyovers and
white chalk lines drawn on asphalt,
through bumps and gallops and potholes
the size of a small pond and through smoke
from the exhaust of heavy-duty lorries
with witty slogans painted on their bodies.
