Oh Road!

I have heard it said
that a man’s soul follows behind him
guessing at his intentions.
Thanks to an energetic communications strategy
I know you move twelve thousand
cubic metres of dirt per day,
you have thirteen partially-completed bridges
and, by the time you are done,
you will have moved three and a half million
cubic metres of dirt. Informative signage
notwithstanding, I still know nothing
of your intentions.
