Road Trip
9-11-08

I am sick to death of judging eyes and sugar lies
of puritan people in their stiff drab clothes
flies up their nose
and keen minds sorting black from white, wrong from right
as if there weren't a color called gray
you know, that ora surrounding a rainy day.

High mountain Gods cast down their laws
picking at every flaw in human nature
and shaking their heads at the ladies in red
parading down the city streets.

I count the days till I sin again
let dark evil in
turn away from the straight and narrow as some would call it.
But I call it,
I call it laughable
I call it light and bright
I call it destiny.

And I'm sick to death of disguising things
for the sake of someone's fragility
like life's gotta always hand you Daisies
sometimes you get lemons instead
so you make orange juice to spite it.

And I'm tired of my trailing raincloud now
puppydog shadow with big sad eyes
what's in a name
what's in a line?
What's in a game you've played for a while?
What is fantasy compared to reality?

Tell me something I don't already know.
We've been going around this same traffic circle for months
and it's getting a little redundant
because because...

I've been caught up in this guilt road trip for a while
but I think I think
I'm going to grab the wheel and crash!
Goodbye endless interstate
hello trail blazer.

Cala, That was very moving. I love your words and how one thought flows to another.
Hugs,
Thom

Cala, well done. I had the same thought of vacations.

'And I'm sick to death of disguising things

That is an awesome stanza thingy. All the usual sentiments apply. Lol.

"what's in a name
what's in a line?
What's in a game you've played for a while?" I'm not sure why, but I really liked this bit.
Good job
Scratch
