At the end, on the last page of A Poem As Long As The Highway by Douglas Barbour there is a set of lines that mark the ongoing nature of the poem as an act of cognition (learning). Set off-centre close to the right margin, the lines look like a ribbon of highway, with plenty of room for passing that is if you drive on the right.
Learning is not
direct
in ratio to distance
travelled
we cannot learn
enough
journey
too far.
On the road again always.
And so for day 2236
