…on route

Fill it, shut it, forget it. That’s me. Just another trading post. Yeah! if that’s any consolation, they gave me a number as well, just a number though.
In the trade i am known as route 66.
Check that__on route. That’s me. The median, never the end. They partake of my pleasures__rest, feast, and proceed.
My pleasures are temporary; their sights more permanent.
I am just a cog in the wheels. Some say imoprtant; but I know that’s just being polite.
I may feed their wheels but the truth is I am just a stopover meal, a part of the deal, but never the full deal.

Your roadside store really feels depressed, doesn’t it?

Yes, looks like. But the, that’s life at times. I will try and do a fun piece some time soon. Have a nice day.

Interesting perspective. I get the sense this narrator would have a lot more to say if we listened. I wonder if there are any treasured moments amidst the neglected feelings?

Thanks. I too feel the same. Maybe if someone just sat down, shated a cup of tea or coffee, he would open up about his life and reveal some priceless moments.

Thanks Alicia, I thought I wanted to convey the insipid, spartan atmospherics of the place and the feelings of the narrator. Glad you appreciated it.
