Dirt mountain,
it towers to the side
a bold sight you can’t ignore,
its presence mocking
your once-clean shoes
and good intentions.
Someday it watches
as you struggle to climb
from the passenger’s seat
to reach the wheel,
chortling at your attempts.
Most days you give in
and it relishes the victory
as you climb its peak,
taking chunks with you
in order to make your escape.
