Ruts

My brother's a great
server, thirty years, fifteen
in the same beautiful room.

Another's a train
engineer in the Rockies,
a skier and mountainbiker, riding rails in his spare time too.

Our sister's a teacher
dedicated to the first grade
and pickling home-grown vegetables.

All of them
happily going about life
safe and comfortable in their ruts.

I'm a rover
scrambling from a rut before I can't see over it
a cliff-jumping risk-taker, restlessly seeking after
grails, stripping veils, an overachieving underperformer

looking for...what? My Perfect Rut.
