Road trip (rapid fire)
Calm hand for the matrix
digital persuasions static responses
Talk show host for nobody
Desert air broadcast and the paranoid keep digging
Why does this nowhere box hum with purpose?
with no direction for its current
surely somewhere dead space shines bright
highway lights and insect genocide
I wonder if they ever know
no lines for the feeding
wires cut at birth and an eye stays vacant
A stagnant crowd for navigating
watch the faces express the expressionless
puddle splash and the *** growls deeply
never seen with calm sight only misplaced anxiety
Fall behind Apple cart and another immigrant starves
don't mistake that tye dyed painter for the sky
she is nearly finished with her masterpiece
the clouds seem real but the rain never falls
with this knowledge I make ground for hydration
Hay trucks driven for a racist farmer
he paid well but inspired nausea
prairie dry with the Yankee cassette tapes
he spent his entire life on the same one hundred acres
yet he claimed worldly insight into why he deserved and others didn't
Some folks on the road inspire hope and happy
An alarming amount prove sinister and spiteful
made it home but I'm not sure why
this space is known and these streets sufficiently trampled
Concrete nineties insignia
tree house trash pile
Home warmth and comfort
this will do
this I can manage
