I built a mental road constructing along the way formations symbolic of my life… a disposal site of bicycles, sneakers and baseball gloves a giant billboard of family photos and Bob Dylan on some old highway a grove of bottle trees notice the buds, please a case of legal briefs marking the hiking trails of tears and the occasional dreary cavern dark and hidden below the mountains of claw marks I lingered at the canyon of joy with its echoes of laughter and music singing like water there’s that mirage of easy money… an oasis of sobering reality… and the Island of Truth I traveled this road for days as if by train to Minnesota, say… or perhaps it was just minutes keeping the snooze at bay mental road construction future dreams and schemes… wistful clouds have crystallized into reflective pools of yesterdays and I have learned to be today. |
