From interstate 
to racetrack 
cars build up their speed 
racing past troopers 
who don't know 
which one to pull over...

commuting
fast highway
teeming with traffic
morning and evening jams
exasperating

Miles and miles of fence
Young trees gave their life to serve
As a barrier
Between interstate traffic
And wildlife that roams in woods  ...

cool cat behind the wheel
chick magnet in his prime

Here to there and back again...
With much frustration

I met a nice fellow from Nebraska
Talked about his sister in Alaska
Said she was still single
And ready to mingle
“If available,” he said, “I’ll ask-a.”

The mighty slugger saunted to the plate
The sun dipped in the sky, 'twas getting late
  First he swung and he missed
  But the next pitch he 'kissed' 
Out of the park ~ onto the Interstate...

Bridge
opens
ships passing
hazy river
lazy afternoon
interstate traffic flow
commerce never gets hindered
regardless any human toll
expendable drones toil away
pandemic death march steady undeterred...

Rollin down the interstate
Listen to the music play
Only with you on my mind
Wanting to hear your voice
No one around
I shed tears
Missing you more
Praying you heal
So I can hear you say
I love you.....

fall's sunlight sparkles
diamonds' reflections glitter..
big rigs conveyers  

On the interstate where
the angle of the sun was 
reflecting off all the cars, 
trucks, and buses.....

Roadside stop...
Activity...
Humans go...

Unfinished thoughts or coping from another but not finishing

Why does Hawaii have an interstate highway?
and why do the Flintstones celebrate Christmas anyway?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? Why are nickels bigger than dimes?
Why do I continue acting weird, asking stupid questions all of the time?...

City limit signs,
Yellow dotted lines,
Baking in the heat,
Brown leather seats,
Miles of road ahead,
Been 19 hours since I rolled out of bed.
Cities blurring together,
Driving fast on the interstate,
With my eye on the weather,
I can’t wait to see her....

Summer night pulsing
Streak of jets landing
Sapphire lights winking

Minds ricocheting
Lovers embracing
Cologne, silk caressing

Muscle maneuvering
Luggage uplifting
Strength celebrating

Interstate soaring
Windows, dash, dancing
Jazz and soul rocking

Frequency sampling
Circuits infusing
Earth-force vibrating...

I remember that night
Shattered by your demon glare
Burning my soul as you stare
Freeze dried on the road
There goes all hope, 
suffocated by your black soul
Road kill on the interstate
Tears spewing from my eyes
Images of the past, flashing
before my eyes. All the fights
Every hateful word, 
Hell is all you deserve....

Quiet morning.
Successful surgery.

No tv!
Watch weather.

Do nothing.
Be nameless.

Suppose cows.
Scare crows.

Harmless habits.
Armless robot.

Like a delusion.
A late night movie.

Expect to forget
and be forgotten. Information.

Interstate.
Toilet seat.

How soon after cryogenesis
can one cry or ejaculate?...
