Premium Member The Freeway
Why did they name it a freeway to begin with Honestly it doubles your chances of getting hit Drunk drivers and those with road rage throwing fits Constantly driving defensively to avoid a near miss Are the ramp meter lights really controlling the traffic It causes more confusion when an idiot drives past it It's on this road that the impatient...

Drive The Hell Out Of This Life
Time has a way that breaks you down As we age we fall victim to its plague Can't out run it can't escape it It comes and comes Sneaks right up on you Before you know it your 49 stuck in 1994 It's a complicated journey Filled with curves and chaos It flashes by like a thunderstorm Loud and hard Right up to the...

Dead Or Alive
So many murders it's overkill but no one cares on Capitol Hill and some are less concerned it seems to me with the killing of the living (whose taxes pay the wages of sin) to each U.S. Supreme Court employee than that of the unborn or perhaps I should be more forgiving tho' lives are broken they remain unspoken on the Washington White House South...

Long Drive from Yesterday
The hours have been driving me, miles upon miles have sunk the sky, Florida now hangs from distant cypress trees. I almost miss the exit ramp, This kind of waking and sleeping is controlled by a ghost in my head. Now I am eyes on the corners where a flickering sunset swings between interlaced trees. Feet juggle over a low flying road, while tense hands...

Premium Member Drive
Low flight that bends The whorling sphere In whistle-talk bounce-stops Grass stains that streak The dimpled-egg sitting white March! March! On and on Then climb the air-ladder And peak in the blue Slide! Slide! Down and down The grade so swiftly weak Impact flat, deepen, kick And gently sit up Arrogant Free… Again we meet and dimpled, smiling You tease me openly to test Your whistle-talk, marching,...

Premium Member I used to drive like that
Driver on interstate has pressed his accelerator hard I used to drive like that – daily To and from work with gritted teeth Expecting death at any minute Racing here, there, nowhere really The stress was gruesome In the last nine months I have driven six times Less than one time per month Retirement is a happy unicorn that I am grateful to...
