Grab the wheel a sec
he says

patting his jacket
in desperate need
of a cigarette
wild eyed as if
he were warding off
hallucinated spiders

Wheel in hand
I allow myself
a momentary lapse
into the dark
mesmerized
by the lights
I veer slowly into
oncoming traffic

You're insane
he says

jerking the wheel
from my hands
I blush as if
I've just been
complimented

Sanity bores me

Well caught.

the highway....Remind me not to take the
wheel....

It has been said
insanity, like ignorance,
is bliss;
pondering,
I realized this:
there's an awesome lot
of happy people here.

You are most definitely one of the more multi-faceted and intriguing writers here at Passions! You never cease to entertain or to provoke thought. You are a shoot from the hip kinda guy and that makes for interesting reading!

Rock on, Dear Nut Bar!

Warm hugs,

..this was a wild ride!  I like this part:

patting his jacket
in desperate need
of a cigarette
wild eyed as if
he were warding off
hallucinated spiders

too many rules

so I color
outside the lines
who cares if
