Day 13
Write lyrics about a place you want to visit. Think about its
attractions, people, history, etc. and how being there will make you
feel.
Cosmic Muffin Protocol
If you see me on the highway, bag in hand, thumb outstretched
Cardboard sign and no regrets
Face tinged with road dust and soot from the fire
Walking sandals made of tires
Pay no mind to my blank expression, I have no expectation
That where I'm going will be any better
My sign says Further, while my face says not too much
My destination is not a place as such
Anyplace is better, I'm not particular
Walking's fine, but I prefer a car
Someone to talk to as the miles go by
Fast enough that we could fly
Heaven is a state of mind
Like the hell I've left behind
In between, so many miles
Insincere faces, empty smiles
You say you would like to go to France
An actual place, measurable distance
Close your eyes, I say, and you'll be there
If you can think it, then it will appear
Moon and stars light up the road ahead
Places to be seen before I'm dead
Autumn leaves and raindrops in my hair
Wishing that I was already there
----
I rebelled again. Nothing to see here, just a guy doing some pushups, thinking about a muffin. Nothing cryptic or morbid going on. But really, I do have to go now...

I've changed my comments settings to allow for anyone to comment. All comments are welcome, even spineless potshots from anonymous posters. Please, by all means, give me the tongue lashing I so richly deserve. I promise not to hunt you down and melt your keyboard with my plasma cannon. I won't, however, promise not to pout and make that face you can't stand.
