death’s
an off ramp where we travel
grab
some snacks and back street gravel
enjoy
the journey while it lasts
no
u-turn takes you to the past
don’t
break the law or it breaks you
always
makes you pay your dues
better
on the open road
just
toss the coins if there’s a toll
live
each day one at a time
forget
the maps and all their rhymes
forget
the doctors and their scrips
bring
your own shit for the trip
wine
or whiskey, beer or weed
the
river and the water reed
take
the days that you can play
even
when the skies are gray
forget
the jerks and jocks from school
death
is waiting with a drool
they
highways best at safer speeds
but
this may not be what you need
road
kill found on either side
a
dying fish in every tide
monday
matters even less
where
they deny your last request
retread
the tires with the fire
burning
within your desire
rest
stops are a place to piss
buy
her treats and steal a kiss
get
out on the road again
grip
with wheel like there’s no end
***
