State Highway 2, abbreviated SH-2 or OK-2, is a designation for two distinct highways maintained by the U.S. state of Oklahoma. Though they were once connected, the middle section of highway was concurrent with three different U.S. highways, so the middle section was decommissioned for reasons of redundancy.
The southern section of highway runs from Antlers, Oklahoma to U.S. Highway 64 near Warner, covering 116.7 miles (187.8 km) through the southeastern part of the state. The northern SH-2 runs for 26.3 miles (42.3 km) through Craig County in northeastern Oklahoma.

“My manner is the footnote to your immoral
Beauty, that leads me with a magic hair
Up the spun highway of a vanishing hill
To Words....”
