Broken White Lines

All along that winding darkness
I think of you in sketches
Between the broken white lines
Strobe light affections
And I wonder if you think of me
Do I occupy your time?
What sketches do you see
Between the broken white lines?
FLYING �J�

There looming before me - Mecca
The last outpost gleaming in the dark
The meeting place of heaven and hell
You can sign up for showers there
And fax a love letter to your wife
And buy refrigerators
That plug into that hole
For your cigarette lighter ~
You can buy DVD�s and videos
You can buy TV�s
With video players in them
You can buy just about anything
That could possibly enter you head
You can eat fast food fare
With truckers
And whores
And drug dealers
And whole families on the vacation
Of their dreams
And senior citizens
Who really aren�t that senior
Filling up the Winnebago
On the trek to Texas
And seniors who really are senior
With their little dogs
And clothes neatly hanging
From clothes racks in the car
And if you are lucky
The greyhound bus arrives
To add flavor to the mix
On an autumn night
At the Flying J
Truck Plaza and Travel Center
Chanting Voices

Chanting voices in the chapel
Praise or rote, I do not know
And yet it rises me upward
Into the stratosphere
Rising like oily incense smoke
Twisting its way around
And around and around
And upward
To the heavens
Dissolving into
The divine Nothingness.
And the devilish All
Somethingnew

I�m thinking of you tonight~
Are you drunk and sentimental
Sinking into that easy chair
Of Victories won and hearts broken
With a smile?

Or is your head weary
With the glad to be done of it,
The lost and won of it
And the campaigns
Yet to come?

Sweet dreams I give to you
So close your eyes and dream
Forever hero, brave and true
Then tomorrow you can plot and plan
The war of Somethingnew
