On the highway,
Don't know where I'm going,
Don't know what I'll do when I get there,
I like transgressing the unknown.

Horned beasts in the pickup behind,
I laugh and flirt with the devil,
Safely entomed in mustang,
Looking, for love, laughter and evil.

Corpses lay torn and bleeding up ahead,
Road kills, their beings pillaged by passers by,
Left alone, in pain to die,
I only ask, "Why?"

Misfit cruising with the moon,
My only friend tonight,
Humming a Pachabel tune,
The funeral bearer in sight.

I look out the window and see my shadow,
The wicked witch accompanies me in my flight,
She only comes when things are bad,
She draws strength from my plight.

She flows along beside me,
Laughing at my confusion and pain,
Knowing I'll wake again tomorrow,
And probably it'll all be the same.

Dismal castle up ahead,
Perhaps a sanctuary?
A place where they can come and claim me,
Where eons of pain before mine will be.

It calls to me,
A place of woe and pain,
Crumbling now just like my soul,
Neither will be rebuilt again.

Crumbling now just like my soul...
This kicks.

Ride the snake, the snake is long, seven miles. The blue bus, is calling us.

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart.

Sigh, I don't know which I prefer, to never be rebuilt again, or to be rebuilt, and then dectroyed repeatedly.......

Good poem.

Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices.

Verse eight makes my soul hurt.
Well Penned Isis!

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.
