May the road to fulfillment be long and steep  
and smeared with fog, moss-lined, leaf-strewn,  
rockslide-prone, oft-closed for repair, haunted,  
the darker the better, no sun- or moon-light,  
bulbs of streetlights, if any, smashed, filaments  
exposed to the cold like nerves, scarred by  
lightning, by overturned freight trucks, by  
mudslides left uncleared, the only life or light  
that of your high beams, flickering, weak  
like a voice shouting praise at a waterfall,  
how beautiful, how beautiful the roar, needless  
of your praise, soaking your backpack's 420D ripstop  
Nylon, water leaking onto your just-unboxed GPS,  
its delicate internals no less miraculous than  
the scales of a trout, or shiny:  
nothing should find its way without getting lost,  
delivered to your door within hours of wanting it.
