    Stay on that fucking bus

    past the monoliths saluting the sky with their geometry
    beyond the three story red-bricks
    who merge in a wanton blur as you pass
    on to where the road becomes a gravel path
    forking out to the cliff tops from which you may jump

    It is tempting to get off the bus early, it is easy isn’t it… to play it safe. Who knows what is over them cliff tops!

    wow...many strong lines in this and a killer ending

    Hi Tom, thanks! I think we should all throw ourselves blindly into something from time to time!


    Morning Julie, and thanks!

    dear Miguel

    very fine the organics of making choices to venture beyond the beyond
