There Are Still Dinosaurs

When I’m driving home at night

Alone

On the dark highway

Past the orange construction signs

Only visible as I pass

I see a shadow to my right

Of some kind of equipment

A crane

Or a truck maybe

But my first thought is

“Is that a dinosaur?”

Obviously, no

No matter what it really is

Of course it’s not a dinosaur

But isn’t it nice to imagine?

Isn’t it nice that sometimes

That imagination comes back

From childhood?

That part of our brain we thought was gone

That part we aren’t allowed to use in the real world?

The part we put away for work

And being an adult?

Because adults know

That of course

Obviously

There’s not a dinosaur on the side of the highway

But

Wouldn’t it be cool if there was?
