“gravel road”

Ditchweed is a Metaphor for a Dream Deferred

I can tell you the exact moment when I knew that my life wasn’t as great as I thought it was. I was walking three miles late at night through the mud, stopping every 5 minutes or so to suck on a pipe filled with ditchweed, praying to feel even the slightest of highs to get me through the night.

Gravel Road

gravel road (n.) A path, covered with rocks. Driving on it most closely resembles driving on shifting, rocky quicksand. After hard rains, these roads show signs of erosion, especially in the middle.
