The road

By Sina Oshaghi

For the route, not the destination

A great many roads I have taken for no reason at the far end.

Guiding teaches you that people book a destination and remember a road. They will describe the afternoon of getting somewhere in far more detail than the place itself.

I have taken a great many routes not to arrive anywhere, but for the route. Nothing about that has ever felt like a detour.
