on the open road with the wind blowing in my hair

I and I alone
At a intersection inundated with traffic without a recognizable face
Perseverance Boulevard looks familiar
I have traveled it with many-a-monkey upon my back
Funny how we grow weary though
Simplicity bores
Family bores
The only son bores
For God so loved the world…

A gift wrapped in reflective paper, abundant with gothic crosses and cherubic faced angels, clothed in natures finest, only to be opened and discover only bubble wrap and a crystallized, black, thorn-wrapped heart exuding red.  blood.  the color of love.

Sorry for being the ugly duckling, son
Maybe I want more       more                        more than what you can give me
me myself and i
Ambition?
Selfishness perhaps
My mortal downfall
Yet it is my mitochondria
An Achilles’ heel to be sure as well
Oh, dear son
What tomorrow shall bring for you
I can almost taste the blood, the love—
Oh glorious day it is today
The time to stay has long passed away

the only people for me are the mad ones-mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at once--jack kerouac

I thoroughly enjoyed this... Very descriptive of a very confused Dorothy.
