hail larry or some other
5am jesus, not jesus
but jesus the IHOP jockey
pushing java and greasy fixes
for arteries that are getting soft

security guards change shifts
like socks on each other's feet
at the theatre without windows
and walls, nearly nude
for the first time again

taxi man has yellow jello
under his t shirt pillow
and ashes on his jeans
from a cigar
in the non smoking chevroulette

until the brakes get done
he will just slow down
for pickups and drunks
and the rhino girls
that pay with tips

in the rear view mirror
and want to go to heaven
if he knows the way there
or has anything left
they can get for trade

and the light changes to red sky morning

The eyes you see with, the world you write - always a fascinating journey for me.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

you are able to turn an already telling moment into a matter of factual principle

Enjoyed!

red sky morning
as the light changes
life continues
what slices can you bring us next?

LOL, now THERE is a red sky warning.
Enjoyed this, glad I'm not living so close to that scenery these days.
I like my red skies at night.

you write like no other always a pleasure
  


I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone though you're still with me
I've been alone all along..Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
