no idea

so i woke up the other morning
and i’m standing on this road
with absolutely no idea where i am
or where i’m going
needless to say i sat down
i sat down to assess the situation
now time was on my mind
i looked at my watch and noticed it had started to rain
where was my cat i thought
where was that red tabby
his fur does not like the feel of water
so began this travel in search of my scared kitty
i wandered hi and lo near and far far and wide
where could he be hiding
there was the old barn but that door had been left open
and I doubted that he would return
looked under the bridge but we’d crossed that one awhile ago
thought i’d turn ‘round but decided there was no goin’ back
with only one solution left
i knew i had to wait for kitty to return on his own
so once again i’m left on this open road
alone and sometimes lonely scared as my cat
except
I like the rain

the beast

first there’s beauty
then
there is the beast
while searching for
the ideal
I found the truth
that simplicity
is a complicated affair
honesty
is surrounded by lies
and the image of oneself
is not always
a perfect picture
on the road to peace
tranquillity
is frequently a stormy journey

prairie rain

fat man
standing
in the middle of the road
naked
radio playing
country music
fat man
motionless
his mind races
thoughts of her
dancing
fat man
turns
looks back
to where he came from
long stretch of empty road
ghost towns
prairie rain
sun at his back
fat man turns once again
squints at the distance
long shadows
unknown highway
dangerous journey
