Loneliness is the wild river we all drink from and bathe in. The twisting journey to sail to clean western skies is bordering on impossible, but can end rapidly by beautiful young sirens and boldly bored sailors.
Old Horn dogs howl for companionship into the dark night but receive none. The disheartened dreamers gaze at the shimmering stars wishing they would be extinguished, and many a pistolero spend their brief lives freely with reckless abandon.
All excuses add up to a superfluous score to a strike out that can't be won. Rather it is fought with a heavy hand, knife or gun Fate can never be overcome. Our flickering life all is but a shadow underneath a harsh Nevada sun.
