This is a very strange feeling, I'm feeling tonight. I can't even say if it's good or bad. I wonder what I shall do. I'm putting these words down in order to describe a mood for which there are no words...
I could love you... but would it matter? Could we change our lives? Would we even try? ...and would we like what we became?
Yes, I've been held back; by what I do not know. By fears?; By expectations?; By insecurity? By apathy, perhaps, not caring for those who care for me.
Two girls playing games; children’s games;
Shooting dice and dealing stud-poker...
Sarah Drive
Drive, Sarah, drive. Gotta hit Moncton before the sun goes down. Drive, Sarah, drive. Won’t you pull off the road, stop and live a while.
You gotta get away. Destination’s set. It’s the only way.
Drive, Sarah, drive. so you’ll hit Moncton before the sun goes down Drive, Sarah, drive. You can’t pull off the road just to stop and live a while.
Goin’ so fast, you don’t realize; it’s not just the car, it’s in your mind. Why do you
Drive, Sarah,. drive? What’s in Moncton before the sun goes down? Drive, Sarah, drive. Why don’t you pull off the road, stop and live a while?
Poor Sarah; too narrow to see what’s right in front of her. She’s always looking far away. And so you...
Drive, Sarah, drive, just to hit Moncton before the sun goes down. Drive, Sarah, drive. Please pull off the road, stop and live a while.
She always into the future sees, but it was long ago, nature planted that tree... LOOKOUT NOW!
Drive, Sarah, drive. You couldn’t stop to ask just a single why. You had to...
Drive, Sarah, drive. You couldn’t pull over just to STOP-
and live a while.
Janet Rd.
Janet rode the train to Georgia and bade farewell to the cold, cold north.
“Goodbye, friends and lovers. Goodbye pain and grief.”
She could no more face them, so she tried to run away; To live a new life all her own; The only kind she could ever give freely, were it to be received honestly.

Song for the Stealing
Dream girl, get out of my mind. Can’t you see? You ruin my life. Dream girl, get out of my heart. Can’t you tell? You’re stealing my thoughts away.
You occupy all of my time. You rule my every move. I can never live my life ‘til you decide to set me free.
Dream girl, get out of my world. You’ve come to spoil all my plans. Dream girl, stay away from me... before I love you forever.
Oh, pretty keyboard player, you’ve touched the right keys to enter my dreams...
In my dreams you play for me.
And life flows from your fingertips and softly caresses my soul; the melody sounds of your laughter, but the harmony moves me to tears.
Oh, pretty prostitute, you so well know the way to my bed...
Please and never vow be here tomorrow.
And life flows from your fingertips and softly caresses my soul; The melody sounds of your laughter, but the harmony moves me to tears.
Oh, pretty women, walking down the street, and up around the bend...
Please, talk to me and make me smile.
And life flows like the breeze softly brushing your hair; In my ears, I hear your laughter, but, in my heart, I feel only tears.
LORRIE DITTS
Strange names glide cross my desk. Pervasive as dust, they leave a film cross my brain; a trail of exotic names; Trenton, Missouri and Xenia, Ohio and someone to wonder 'bout You are but 23 and like to raft. I wonder when you started to smoke.
My heart breaks, to see you are wed; and I am jealous;
Of the way he holds you; of the lies he's told you and the nights you spend together.. How can you let him touch you, as I sit here alone? I see more in your name than I ever need know about you. I love you, Lorrie Ditts.
Although you've long left me, my precious love, your image comes back to me, each time I pause to draw a breath;
The satin hair that has touched the freedom in the wind, and fallen back to frame the face brighter than the sunrise after the darkest night; the eyes that glow with love strong enough to free the world; the lips as soft as a mother's caress of her newborn babe; and skin so soft it contours like vapor.
All these have I known, though no more can I ever reach them.
Still, I never can forget them. They live forever in my fondest memories.
SCHIZOPHRENIA
Begin dreams, my then and me waken to rising sun;
the day.
Each night is dark...
So?
So dark is night. Each day, the sun rising to waken me; and then, my dreams begin.
Independence Day seems to come on Fridays when my work week's over Yet, my cares begin to spring to mind
As alcohol runs slowly through my brain I, as slowly, and with great concentration, run through a list of names in a quest for whom I can call at three in the morn.
Argument With A Mud Path
While I was on my way home last night, I had a little argument with a mud path. This particular mud path is on a hillside at the beginning of my shortcut. I debated with myself as to whether I should hazard the path or take the longer route around it. It was raining and, though this increased the possibility of falling on the path, it also increased my desire not to extend the duration of my walk home. I chose the mud path. As I approached the mud path, it spoke. "You ain't goin’ through here", it said. I stepped back, but, since having never considered the question, I wasn’t certain that mud paths couldn’t speak, I very cleverly remarked, "Say what!?'" "You ain't goin' through here, knee-biter." it replied. "Just watch me!" I countered, just before I slid to the ground. "I'm watching", said the mud path. "I just lost my balance", I said, "These weeds will help." So saying, I grasped a handful of weeds, but they snapped. I lost my balance and, again, fell. The mud path laughed. I got up and tried again. I lost my solid footing, but this time I grabbed a sturdier weed and was able to regain my balance. I cleared the path and turned back to address it. "Oh yeah", I said casually. "Yeah." responded the mud path. "Mud paths can’t talk" I told it. I walked home in silence.
Day after dreary day
My life drips on;
Like sewage seeping in some stinking puddle
a rainy pool of steeping sludge
leaking from a tunnel
where refuse dwells;
disappointing yesterdays
creeping toward tomorrow
and dreams
that seemed to vanish
the moment I awoke.
