A poem

Wing Road.
Wing Road is a knifecut in the earth,
slicing from coast to mountains.
A line to be crossed with,
No guidance given.
As to benefit or cost.

So I’m standing here with thoughts ablaze,
knowing that I have to do something.
While the pull from each end of Wing road,
pins me here, like a beetle.

There are crossroads on Wing road,
and I really should have turned off.
But where the Hell am I going?
No money, no love, only time.

Glowering clouds hide the mountains,
out at sea a force four storm.
Wing road says clearly to me,
“This is it, you are here”.

There is no higher praise than solar plexoid praise.

I hear the words as sung by Maryrose Crook from The Renderers.

I fully agree... they don't lie.

I hear it from Rudolph and the Reindeers, but everybody knows I don't hear so good.

My comment was made before mikey's; it only showed up second on account of time-zone stuff. And Southern Hemisphere.

You might as well blame the spiders, S.C.

Looks like they got to Substance McG, also.

Beautiful poem. Watch out for Rutger Hauer though.
