the fine time to knead autumn
is before the dawn lady dances
when the 15 has no body jewelry on

and the highway boys are atrested
in parking lot hotels, code something
that takes a bit longer than a donut

I can feel the leather of my skin
rolling over bone end pebbles
like pizza boys knuckling dough

there is an old man in the mirrors
but he is not me anymore
since the blood of the copperhead changed

vegas is still just the cardboard boxes
with sweat leather and mascara
over plastic bags with hungry eyes

and tomorrows are just half a throttle gone

I guess you are talking in these incredibly fascinating terms about a route? Wow!

And owg is still a mystery ...

But what I "get" is of such great poetic impact!

Love,

Ya know, Dark,  The way you write makes me wish I was a better writer, or stoned, I'm really not sure which. But I do know that I enjoy reading you..  You make me think,(mostly what the heck is he talking about)but you make me read you and think.  
Well done..   Tracey

The answer is always NO, Until the question is asked.
