Premium Member Shortfalls on the Long-Haul
In long-haul dreams, we set our sights far-off on distant shores, Assuming that each step, each choice, each twist, will open doors, Will keep us heading steadfastly ahead, right on course!

Premium Member The Long Haul Home

There is always a "somewhere" hanging in the sky above your head, an El Dorado, a glistening pot, a floodlit dream plastered like a billboard on a roadside hoarding promising a better life on Paradise Island Estate.

Long Haul
After 5 hours of flying and sitting we display an assorted redundancy a sanctioned paraphernalia. Rumpled files of sartorial inelegance squeezed shoulder to shoulder. A night flight, the tube is wheezing tainted air. We are a junkyard for travelers moving not by our own motion but brought together in economy class because we are all out of other options. The French have terms for these sleeping arrangements: 'Maisones...

In It For the Long Haul
This life can sometimes feel lonesome and that’s perfectly okay, Our strong muscles and bones are shouting out that we’re here to stay. Even if we are housing the prehistoric birds of prey. It’s much like a lonely white pine growing high and mighty on a rocky mountain side. The challenges are excruciating and the elements we can’t decide. However,...

Premium Member Made It Through the Long Haul
Claude Debussay didn't inspire me As red sun set a fiery red ball And I ran away with no shawl Knowing there was no way to flee Trapped in your shuttered bourgeoisie Behind the mask, a plastered glee Pull Daisy's petals let them fall He loves me, loves me not at all The keys pound music none esprit It ends, made it through the...
