run away

My little brother is kind of weird. He'll have random outbursts sometimes where he'll express a desire to go out and live in a farmhouse with well water and not have to pay taxes and no electricity, with no one for miles. I don't often agree with him (I like urban sprawl), but sometimes when I'm in certain moods...

I was driving up the highway, just as it morphs into a road in town, and I looked up at the sky, which was this beautiful shade of blue, with gorgeous cloudscapes. And then I noticed, with annoyance, that the view was blocked by traffic lights, and electrical lines, and rooftops. And I suddenly had this desire to drive forever, until there wasn't any road anymore, and when the car ran out of gas I would leave the car, and keep running until I was just one with the sun and the sky and the grass, with none of humanity's stupid trappings, like trying to put a bridle on nature, like trying to put a saddle on the sea.
