Beautiful Dust

Being alone means
I can start driving before I know where I’m going
Because no one will know how many circles I made
Before I decided on a destination.

Being alone means
I can make a sudden u-turn
Because I’ve remembered that I don’t eat Middle Eastern food
As often as I’d like.

Being alone means
My soul finds rest
Because I am here eating pita and hummus
Instead of coffee and croissant.
