Arizona 666

it is much too late
to change my course
to retrace my path
take a different road

this one isn't marked
this one isn't paved
blown rubber from retread tires
a construction hazard zone

this treacherous trail
worse than Arizona 666
no place to pull off
this road that turns and twists

Profound statement on one who is looking back on his life with despair. Our lives are filled with "turns and twists," but somehow we press forwar through the "hazard zone." Awesome bit of reflection in this write, B J! Love, Carolyn
