Paying the Bills
Trudging the tracks,
Counting each stake,
For one has it season of takeless respiration.
Date-
Dressed for destiny fate,
With single eye gleaming illumination.
Full throttle ahead.
Paralytic instant,
Jiffy spring of dazzling bright.
Prophesying visions,
Told in quarter flash interval,
By injunction demand of destine course,
Moving closer to what may be future bound.
Demons taunt every step of the way,
Just one given up breath,
All it takes.
Nickels & dimes,
Wishing well coins,
Laid on the steel rail,
Given titles,
Enough to make a different?
Set,
Hoping for the best,
Praying,
Derailing the locomotive off passage.
Pocket change,
Emptied solitude once again,
Smiling no surprised,
Two cents held hand grip,
Twin President Linocoln speak,
Been down this far too numerous, dreams only show the odds you will not be
moved off life course."
