Premium Member It Is the Indianapolis 500
It is the Indianapolis 500, I am in the lead of course. My car has the power of more than a buggy and horse. Wait! Did that car just pass me? Racing for me is not a whim! I am irritated and peeved, so I catch up and overtake him. I hurry to not only catch up, but...

A Winter Evening Commute
The winter darkness falls before the day Has run its course, long ere the eyes of those Who labor seek surcease from weariness. The home-bound traffic winds its halting way Beneath the moon-bound Evening Star and slows— A mess. And so I sit with promises to keep, Ensnarled within a concrete wilderness As news and music streams from radios. At last the exit home—to...

Premium Member This Nobody Walks In La
In a town where one’s car MUST IMPRESS I am in a permanent state of undress Without said car I don’t go far When I leave my lair I walk everywhere There are cats I greet Even a human or two I meet I have become fit Bit by bit My temper no longer frays On L.A.’s “free”-ways I am unlikely to injure or be...

Freeway of Escape
In this era of experimentation, unforeseen boulders form in the road of progress. Low interest rates encourage the right hand to invest, while the left speculates unnoticed. Governments spend money before the ink dries, purchasing assets, forcing lines on economic charts, following virgin protocols. Skewed markets seem normal, kurtosis no longer matters in this 21st century laboratory. Social scientists join the parade with shutdown demands to end a...

Premium Member Freeway Accidents Are Annoying
so annoying when a wreck happens on the interstate I always watch the semis When they vie for the fast lane I do too Using their highway prowess Except this time two were wrong They led me into a lane that did not move Six cars were off, All apparently hitting each other. A Chevy comes roaring up from behind The driver must be good. The front end...

Premium Member Two Idiots On the Freeway
An idiot driver cut in front of me on the freeway Just because they did not get the big picture I have to slam on my brakes? Could I let it slide? Apparently not. I threw my hands up like “what the heck?” She gave me the bird. I gave her one back. She gave me two birds. Who was driving there? I chased...

Highway swing Highway dance Swing in and out Swing carefully Out to stay alive Out there on the freeway Alive still Alive to swerve Swerve all about Swerve cautiously Still moving Still dancing About to smash About to crash Moving slowly Moving not at all Smash heard Smash song Slowly turn Slowly open eyes Heard metal Heard brakes Turn and look Turn and feel sad for them Metal crumpled Metal jumbled Look away Look toward Crumpled car Crumpled truck Away I go Away from this sad Car...

Dangerous deeds camps at night in the mountains with each thought a flickering flame Those that dare to play the game a burning soul a crisp desire broken fingers in a glove hand in hand driving the freeway of love I kept the windows down this binz in sport her was short but it was blowing around...

Premium Member My Angels of the Freeway
I call them my angels of the freeway - the three good Samaritans that I met. Seeing me stranded, each stopped right away. I call them my angels of the freeway. Changing a tire for me, how kind were they! Three times I’ve been rescued and I’ll not forget. I call them my angels of the freeway - the three good Samaritans...

The Round Table On This Side of the Freeway
"THE ROUND TABLE ON THIS SIDE OF THE FREEWAY" I sit here at this round table in jeans, my white shirt and boots. writing to keep the demons at bay. same old song at 33. life... some say the greatest thing God gave us. these few haven't been eaten away by love, decision or good intention. with a brain unlike the masses, I drink this beer, smoke these cigarettes and...

The Freeway Cowgirl
“THE FREEWAY COWGIRL” structure in the bathroom look to your left look to your right look up and reflect. the bulls-eyes make everything the back will deliver condensation will drip cigarettes in the fingers thought under the shade. eyes pop over the tongue heart beats in a yellow suit laughter loves the woman attraction befriends the man. walk the balcony at sunset grip...
