The nuts and bolts of travel

So here it is:
the nuts and bolts of travel --
where you planned to go
may not be where you ended up;
fog may obscure
the sights you planned to see.

And on your most important journey
you may find you are alone,
peering through some rain or tears
at destinations you never meant to visit,
trials you never intended to endure,
food you never expected to eat,
and the one person
you never thought to meet
in such a lonely space:
yourself.
