on the open road with the wind blowing in my hair

the needle scratches the neglected record
as the disc spins around and around
as the annoying static alerts me the album is over
the record produces nothing worthwhile anymore
stuck in its own orbit
like my life as i sit on the couch
the couch with no cushions
rips and tears, coffee and alcohol stains
and many memories of better days
but the couch sucks me in to this life
in which it is the most permanent part
the record continues its noise
but i move only to grab the paper lying at my feet
to check what day it is today
but three minutes later i have forgotten it
for days don't matter when you are stuck inside yourself

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

Interesting...

Poetry is love and love is life.

Lift the needle and put it back on track so that you might have music in your life again...

A deep and brooding piece of writing. If this is a self-introspection piece I am sending you some healing Light and some loving hugs.

Agree with Linda, quite brooding I'd say. But hey, I enjoy a brood now and then myself. And the date is, let's see, "looking at the calendar reflected in the mirror", drats it's in the way of ME!
