Up The Road Aways (Free verse) by harrytuttle Walking the hollow, simple world
I balk at the thought of a cereal breakfast
In a cardboard box of time
I sit slinging slugs of muck
to the wind
and thinking about something
I forgot long ago
Before things mangled themselves
And time stood still.
But trudge on we must
Thru the gloomy night
Into the too bright dawn
Up the ladder:
None
Down the ladder:
opposition

I yearn for simpler times too. Thanks for reminding me where my watch is.
And your point is? There's some nice wording in places; 'slinging slugs of muck to the wind' is lovely, but the ending is cliched and dull. Have a 4, as an encouragement for future efforts.
