Travel song

It reminds you
of those adolescent hobo
ways of seeing
to make meaning.

That traveling
breaks white ceilings
This year,
when the sanctuary box locks
out feeling.
That road ,
thumb stretched
out on seering trails,
of jungle crossed
with rocky modes.

I scream out of the bedroom
take that chapter out of keroauc
Lean into the bitumen of sweat
and flies with an attack
of this disguise of bohemian pride
that hitchiked a ride with guy
contemplating suicide.

For he said in a toyota
' White collar made me today"
Contrasted to that zoom
of eucalypt past his lip
forgotten like a wisp
of mirage and radiator hiss.

In the distance
a speck of intransit resistance.
Graffiti on a sign yellin to the wedgies
"Next 2 million years'.
Another insistence
of that remarkable message that cleaves
through the cyan expanse of the sky.

That solitude of science
with the moment
send this pack ,
of my own eyes
back to words ,
and the ants of the red dirt.
