on the open road with the wind blowing in my hair

a small gift--
often overlooked
for she may have been
wrapped
in
newspaper--
sloppily and quickly wrapped--
not the
shiny, metallic
flashy
colors
topped with many a  
bow--
perfect wrapping job--
that i was
looking for
i put it aside
on the table
to play with my expensive toys
they all broke--me
or walked away
i never cut it open
never cared
now we are loneliness
squared.

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

Noah, there's a lot of hidden truth in
this one. I really liked it..
