sometimes the lines
were/are black ink
and the road was/is too

only the middle seems/ed real
shoulders were/are just curves
with fists on the end

and night and day blend/ed
at the seam of east
with cloud mark erasers

we were/are here before
when we were/are strangers
we both look/ed the other way

when crossing the street
we walk/ed side by side
just out of sight

could be/have been lovers
if the sale isn't/wasn't on
or the lights at the corner bar

or the honk if you love/loved jesus car

Morning Dark - this makes me want to hit a road to nowhere in the middle of nowhere, just trees and mountains and the kiss of night with some serious tunes and the windows rolled down.

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

The give/take
of now/then
swings/push
one's mind/thoughts in
several...
ways.

smiles, was a very full view of another picture, perhaps another place, another time
sad, and yet, realistic...
like listening to cello...

Good Morning, wishing you a day of sunshine moving you slowly into a fine weekend...

Been a long time between bar flies and jukeboxes.

Enjoyed these words taking place in the past and present tense, DS~
