They lean against the cooling car, backs pressed Upon the dusts of a brown continent, And watch the sun, now Westward of their West, Fall to the ocean. Where it led they went.
-Thom Gunn, Discovery of the Pacific
My externship is one day from being over. What now?
I want to go on a road trip.
Suggestions?
Sidenote: I can't actually get much farther west, I just love this poem.
