my navaho conclusion (Free verse) by unknown^user
Things have just sped up
I can hear it right now
in the yells of the people
living under my floor.
When the smoke detectors go wild
and the cheaters lose their edge
Iâll bury my head in my hands
and hold on to the end.
I think thereâs a snowstorm
in arizona, on highway 89
I can be there in 15 hours
and leave these jerks behind
Iâll miss the sunrise, since Iâm driving west
and see the sky dressed in violet
like pictures on road maps.
I think thereâs a snowstorm, in Arizona
somewhere on highway 89
and thereâs a couple, driving along
with the wipers on, cursing the luck.
I could be there in 15 hours, no stops
drive all night, passing out slowly
get there in time to watch the people wake up
and their faces form the day
as if God was painting pictures
but God is just laughing
because everything is moving too fast
for anyone to get off now.
But I could stay here another 15 hours
and hope they hate me
for cutting my hair while Iâm going bald
I could leave this horse ass town, I could forget
that all this ever was, was a stop
in a general direction.
So mail me all the postcards
and Iâll collect all the stamps
maybe even try to use them again
because you know Iâm crazy like that
