ANOTHER ROAD POEM

THE STORIES THEY TELL PART 2

SUNDAY
WARM WITH SUMMER
COOL WITH ANTICIPATION
CONTINUING JOURNEY RIDING DOWN THE GRAVEL INCLINE
PARK AMONG CHROME HORSES
STRECH
WALK
TIME FOR COOLNESS DOWN PARCHED THROATS
A WIDE PORCH
VARIOUS CHAIRS
FILLED WITH THAT HUNGER OF THE ROAD
SO SETTLE DOWN A WHILE
LISTEN
SHARE A SMILE
LEARN FROM NEAR MISSES
SHARED EXPERIENCES
SIT QUIETLY
SOAK IT IN
WATCH THE FACES
ALL BECOME YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN
NO MATTER WHAT THEIR AGES
AS THEY SHARE THEIR STORIES
ADD TO THE PAGES
SOME A LITTLE DAUNTING
USUALLY THE MELLOWEST OF SOULS
SOME TRYING TO PROVE SOMETHING NO ONE REALLY KNOWS
YET STRIP IT ALL AWAY
THEY SHARE THE MOST BASIC PLEASURES
A BROTHERHOOD
A SISTERHOOD
WE HAVE ALL GOTTEN THERE THE SAME WAY
TWO WHEELS
THE WIND
THE PERFECTION OF THE DAY
SHARING THE ROAD
CREATING THE MOMENTS
MAKING THE STORIES
THAT TIME WILL KEEP
SUNDAY WARM WITH SUMMER
COOL ANTICIPATION
TAKING A MINUTE
STEALING SOME TIME
UNTIL THE NEXT DESTINATION
THE STORIES THEY TELL
THE LINES THEY WEAVE
FINE THREAD ON PASSERS BY
FINE THREADS ON ME
