"Various lanes closed ahead" Take the service road instead "Food" "Gas" "Lodging" What life have we been dodging? The speed limit is the biggest gimick Did you know that its suggested Why I wonder if its been tested? The loop around the city Strangles it in pity For every exit there leads out And still we spiral inward Into its gorging center The cracks in the asphalt are veins about to burst Hands that grab from tail pipes change Buick into Hearse The signs are green the grass is yellow and death haunts me near to tiny poisoned molecules that stalk the atmosphere Cones guide me in and out from four lanes down to one and all the IV’s in the dash pump music from my lungs The bullet to my head a Honda of late model and what they found in killers heart? triggered in a bottle But that’s not why I drive I drive to arrive to take myself to school and back and buy groceries once a week The road is full of question yet its open and surreal guides us with two railings set and blinds us by the wheel [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (02-20-2002 07:10 PM).] |

  (big hugggsssssssss) Oh Walter, I too know just how you feel, my mom always tells e that driving is fun and driving is freedom, but I strongly disagree with that, but I only drive because I feel it is important and the best way to get from here to there, while otherwise we are always putting ourselves against so much more and there is no freedo really! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is a very powerful write, I love it! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Walter, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
