    Road Trip 2008
    .
    Going time, on the road whenever I can
    Travel for free just like any hobo man
    .
    Destination unknown, I'm going on a lark
    Waiting to jump any train just after dark
    .
    Got to see corn fields burnt to the ground
    Keeps prices high and profits safe and sound
    .
    Smelled the poppy seed drifting in the air
    Makes some dream of a world they can bear
    .
    Met some folks, you could call them friends
    Steal the gold from your teeth when it ends
    .
    Mr. Nobody over there didn't last the night
    Now he's just fair game but don't seem right
    .
    I like that hat and I'll have the overcoat too
    Stop your whining and just grab the other shoe
    .
    No funerals here no slice of birthday cake
    But then again, we had one hell of a wake
    .
    Hey brother, pass that bottle if your able
    I'm gonna drink it down then eat the label
    .
    Too drunk to tell if I just traded my soul
    So I can shine on someone else's honor role
    .

    already, I felt like I was sitting in a boxcar to somewhere with your hobo. Very stunning images portrayed in this one! ginga

    i really enjoyed your use of expression here it helped to understand how you feel

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
