Highway Five

I walk into the restroom
and there are these two guys in
there and it already stinks
and they look at me like
I did something wrong
and I'm thinking hey --
I just got here and then

one of them leaves and then
the other one leaves
so now I'm all alone for
like two-and-a-half heartbeats
and then some new guy comes in --
some third guy, or fourth, really,
if you count me, and he's
walking right in, through that same door

and he's looking at me
like I did something wrong

and I'm thinking damn.
I mean damn. I'm spending
altogether too much time

in this stinky bathroom.

this poem calls to mind words of wisdom handed down by sages through the ages,
Whoever Smelt it,
Dealt It.

"Its okay to get jacked up and head out onto the highway, but I've been there and I can tell you that the fast lane is littered with countless smoldering wrecks."
---H.S.Thompson (a personal favorite -- Fear and Loathing books rocked!)

"My HIGHWAY is unfeatured air,
My consorts are the sleepless stars,
And men my giant arms upbear—
My arms unstained and free from scars."
---William Ellery Channing (1817–1901), Hymn of the Earth.
