The people I grew up with
have doctorates
have children
have spouses
have divorces
have careers
have died
have lived
and me? I have done
some of the dishes

Walker, your footsteps
are the road, and nothing more.
Walker, there is no road,
the road is made by walking.
Walking you make the road,
and turning to look behind
you see the path you never
again will step upon.
Walker, there is no road,
only foam trails on the sea.
— Border of a Dream: Selected Poems of Antonio Machado, translated by Willis Barnstone
