I’m a Pedestrian,
Traveling,
Walking Steadily,
Under Moonlit Ambiance,
Blisters Burn,
Heavily Trodden Hooves,
Weigh More Now,
Than the Burden on My Back,
My Parcel,
Carried,
My Concentration,
Nowhere Near my Destination,
My Mind Wanders,
As My Feet Shuffle,
Both Would Move Faster,
If They Weren't Hurrying, Not to Go,
My Toes Find Fissures,
Cracks,
I Stumble,
The Ground Breaks My Fall,
Now I Sit,
Meekly at Curbside,
Struggling Fruitlessly,
To Find a Reservoir of Will,
My Palms Bleed,
Carnivorous Road,
Reminded of Mortality,
My Eyes Turn Skyward,
Not Looking For God,
Vultures,
Nothing Circles Overhead,
Only a Circle,
Earth’s Heavenly Halo,
The Moon,
The Sting Sets In,
Movement Could Be a Blessing,
Legs Once Akimbo,
Straighten,
Bipedal Existence Validated,
I Move Forward,
Distressing Activities Flourish,
Causes Unwelcome Guests,
The Roar of Muffled Beasts Begins,
My Heart Tears,
The Beasts Will Yet Be Sated,
Fed,
But What of a Lonely Heart,
For It, My Asphalt Devourer, Provides Nothing.
Continuing My Journey,
Exhausted,
Treading Lightly Now,
Rice Paper Race,
Previous Midnight's Consumption,
Fully Digested,
Healing's Rest,
Leaves Painful Scabs,
Dawns Early Break,
Arousing,
Intimidating and Motivating,
New Light, New Day, New Haze,
Bitter Beasts Return,
Slighted Not Satiated,
Currently Covered Digits,
Jingle Pockets Bank,
Highway, Freeway, Roadway,
Myway,
Journals Pages Forgotten,
Story Lost to Antiquity,
Purpose Momentarily Misplaced,
Abrupt Stop,
Contemplating Current Situations,
I Lurch Forward,
My Mind Made,
Decided,
Continuing For Now,
Perhaps I’ll Eat,
Poorly Funded Monetarily,
Emotionally Too,
Simple Idea Complicated,
Complicated Goal Simplified,
Melancholy Makes its Call,
Pervasive,
Traversing New Terrain,
Despising Equilibrium's Tenacity,
I See a Sign,
Diner Ahead,
Three Point Five Miles,
Travels Newest Distraction.
The Bell Jingles,
“One.”
Seeking Pleather Comfort,
I Slink Into My Seat,
My Choice Predetermined,
“Coffee Black,
Eggs Benedict Extra Hollandaise,
Bacon, Buttered Toast, No Hurry.”
On Two Feet,
Meandering,
Blacktop Ocean Underfoot,
Red Sky in Morning,
Lucks Ran Out,
Damn Weather,
Thirty Percent My Ass,
Drip, Drop, Splatter, Pelt,
Came to a Conclusion,
Hitchhike,
Opposable Digit Extends,
External Layers Drench,
Patience is a Virtue,
Yeah Right,
Newspaper Soled Shoes,
Soak Through Sunday,
It’s a Dry Rain,
Humor,
Black Seas Current,
Leads Ship Ashore,
I Hop In,
“Names Jim.”
Chevy Cavalier Coupe,
Cars Quite Clean,
“Where You Headed?”
“Home.”
Quite Conversation Ensues,
Trivial Chit Chat,
Things Get Personal,
I Lie,
Conversation Turns Sexual,
Uncomfortable Situation Worsened,
Eschewed Words Become Physical,
“STOP!”
Belongings Procured Post Haste,
Vehicle Vacated Rapidly,
Road Sailings Not For Me,
Social Pariah,
Rains Not So Bad,
No So Great Either,
I Have the Road,
Mistress,
Dark and Mysterious,
Maltreats Me and Everything,
Forgetting the Past,
Drudging Forward,
Memories like Burdensome Children,
Only Get in the Way.
This Started Long Ago,
Ages,
Just Packed My Things,
And Started Walking,
Don’t Know Why I Left,
Rolling Stone,
I Suppose I Just Knew,
I Didn't Belong,
It Doesn't Matter,
Now,
Things Went Wrong,
I Turned Around,
I've Seen Things,
They've Changed Me,
Physically and Fundamentally,
Never Be the Same,
The Core of Me,
Shattered,
Like the Window,
Of Tonight’s Mobile Hotel,
I’m Not Homeless,
A Drifter,
Floating Home,
On a Sea of Unexpressed Emotion,
When I Get Back,
If,
I Wonder,
“What Will They Say?”
Knock, Knock, Knock,
“Move It!”
My Wake Up Call,
Wears a Badge,
Springing Out the Door,
Promptly,
I Dash Madly,
Fighting for Freedom,
“It’s Not Worth It.”
He Mutters,
Before I Fade,
Into a Nearby Alley,
I Got Careless,
Sloppy,
Might Be Nice Though,
Sleeping Behind Bars,
Probably Not,
Not Again,
Not After the Last Time,
Not Again.
It Wasn't Hot Out,
Sweltering,
My Brow Line,
Like a Broken Faucet,
I Noticed Something,
A Smell,
Putrid and Pungent,
Was It Me?
My Eyes Scan the Scene,
No,
Once Road Life,
Now Road Kill,
I Knew I Had a Problem,
Right Then,
Unable to Look Away,
My Stomach Growling,
This Isn't Right,
Uncivilized,
My Base Functions Beleaguered,
I Beset Myself to Change,
I Wander Into Town,
Seems Nice,
Looks Can Be Deceiving,
I Used to Look Nice,
I Weigh My Options,
Morality or Immorality,
Not Given an Option,
The Choice is Made for Me,
A Van Pulls Up,
Christians,
Promising Eternal Solace,
Through the Sacrifice of Their Savior,
It Doesn't Matter to Me,
Non Believer,
They Will Feed Me,
They’ll Clothe Me,
I’ll Take What I Can,
Selfishly,
For As Long As I Can,
Then I’ll Go,
As We Follow The Path,
I Think,
“What If This Is It?
My Problem,
Incapable of Accepting Anything,
Foolishly,
I Run Away From Everything,
And Anyone Who Cares.
