calamity road

By odetobarbie

pay the toll
pay attention
pay full price



old beat
new shoes
slightly crossing
desert graveyards
and roll-over accidents

simply slipped
into attention
spaz games
directing
misinterpreted purpose

tricks
in blatant fantasies
dreams glinting
potential at each
breath

questions crouch
behind disclaimers
in wolves dresses
claiming territory
in no-man's land

small govt
in dictator pants
paranoid paradoxes
ripped straight
from crazy tax.

    This had a feel of traveling by foot through a harsh world. I really connected. Good job.
