In 1998 I went on a mid-life crisis road trip. I made a web journal of the journey. I tried to find the web recently, and couldn't. My sense of loss was profound. In musicals, people break into song at moments of profound emotion; I try to write poetry.
copied and archived and backed up
so many times
it disappeared
a stand-in for a memorable journey
a trusted pointer
though unvisited
my thoughts drain into its loss
its referent
now unreachable
