Dirt Road

Post by the mingo » April 8th, 2018, 9:16 pm

the woman next door
still uses a typewriter
in her story a child
stares out of the dark
where she goes to dream
of abandoned railroad tracks
the child's imaginary friend
a Japanese soldier from WW2
smiles loudly and exclaims
"Wasn't that a splendid sunset
over the sea this evening ?
We got there just in time,
before it was already taken."
the woman types & types
until she is a child again
carrying her big teddy bear
behind her down a dirt road
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

Mmmm wow brilliant- and now I want more
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Wireman - it might prove out to all be a scene in some movie
but something calls me away from all that
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.
