Poetic Referendum(s) On Life

journey to windows

millions of miles of road
on an earth just eight thousand miles long

no wonder i get lost
traveling these trails to find someone

before shine-struck
she's a vision in yellow dress wiping tables

at this truck stop i linger
to pump this hollow vehicle full of gas

i think i could stop
fly like a bird to that window to smash

will i survive the crash?
pick myself up and dust the road ahead again

any venue would do
to bring me to someone who behaves like you

as you pour that coffee
from a distant look in eyes i assume forlorn

wondering about a journey?
a million miles long on a small planet with

a lost soul like me?
a heart wants to lose its wheels and fly,

with a ten percent chance
full speed arriving at her glass full blast

better keep this ride warm
it's a longer winter for dreamers like me.


10.18.20

upwards of a billion birds die every year from flying into windows.
