Optical Illusion

by Anne Engelen

On auto-pilot

The world’s non-existence exculpated

The radio’s excecration of every emotion

Of every significance

Beared out

Music

 

Takes me over

 

Becomes my drive

My sanctuary

The place

I can BE

Carries me from here to nowhere

Nowhere to somewhere

The ultimate drive

into nothingness

What more can one ask for?

 

But I keep running out of gas

If nothingness is good I guess you are right! LOL!! Vivid imagery. Glad you run out of gas. Otherwise you might be just a black hole!(poetically speaking). ;)

The word for today...and everyday? Music! The ultimate head trip, clean as it comes, and perfectly legal. :o)
