Drive west
forget the hard parts
follow the road.
Double your drive time
it feels like you never arrive
enough, so you never turn back
Look down
Flatbush Boxing T-shirt, dirty blue,
sweating four days of history,
messy life, sustainable yet flat
as he ignores the mumble inside
giving him instructions
Daily routine like a skipping record
everything clear I proclaim
pack the truck with extra quarts
of love and gold to pay the toll
over and over
another bump in the road
losing your light anyway
wanting another dose
of YouTube dopamine.
short story thoughts whitewash
just submit to propaganda
enjoy lacklustre awareness
As Korean woodworking master
makes another table for two, feed me
never question what media gives you
Regardless of the mile marker
keep driving away slowly
Empty church, roadside graveyard
fields full of grain, cows, sun.
AM Radio is long forgotten.
