in a respected ride with veteran battle scars, a tribute to a friend died. Saluted the life blood sponging highway to impress bloated pride on hit-the-snooze Sunday, behind closed eyes, a naked marching parade. Went too fast, flying untied, caged bird set free wings won’t stop, ’til sun-kissed wings. Last thoughts Mother’s day, another write up for motorcycle cop, inking red dots on desk duty paper. Homage to crumpled carnage, nothing to see but stiff salvage.
