Travel song

| |

It reminds you

of those adolescent hobo

ways of seeing

to make meaning.

 

That traveling

breaks white ceilings

This year,

when the sanctuary box locks

out feeling.

That road ,

thumb stretched

out on seering trails,

of jungle crossed

with rocky modes.

 

I scream out of the bedroom

take that chapter out of Keroauc

Lean into the bitumen of sweat

and flies with an attack

of this disguise of bohemian pride

that hitchiked a ride

with guy contemplating suicide.

 

For he said in a toyota

"White collar made me today"

Contrasted to that zoom

of eucalypt past his lip

forgotten like a wisp

of mirage and radiator hiss.

 

In the distance

a speck of intransit resistance.

Graffiti on a sign yellin to the wedgies

"Next 2 million years'.

Another insistence

of that remarkable message that cleaves

through the cyan expanse of the sky.

 

That solitude of science

with the moment

send this pack ,

of my own eyes

back to words ,

and the ants of the red dirt.
