Come to the Woods
Thom Woodruff
Before roads, one could get lost
Now, with SIRI & GPS & Google Earth
there is no secret spot sans surveillance.
Once, you could backpack into wilderness
Now your phone is a voicemail lifeline
You live as long as your battery life.
Once, there were places with no name.
Now hostels called THOREAU franchise “Adventure Travel”
Once, the Unknown awaited outside your door.
Now you need to see Moon and Mars for new adventures
Maybe open a Moon Motel with blinking lights
advertising, THOREAU SLEPT HERE!
