Backtracking

The man wearing the bright green
bib overalls, he told me two lefts
and half a mile past
where the barn burned down
and all those pigs died. Then I’ll see
a sign pointing the way back
to the intersection where
I should’ve stopped and
asked for directions
but was being too stubborn
in my insistence that we follow
the path of the waning sun
to our next destination.
