Just GO!!!
I was heading South,
across the state of Michigan,
chasing the trail of a thunderstorm,
but for what really?
well a couple of books I'd already read,
and to go to a car show in Detroit,
what sense was that?
none really.
I was a Kerouac and a Cassidy rolled into one,
screaming down the freeway and taking solstice in being alone and listening to Pearl Jam
the sky took the hand of the night in marriage,
and lifted her dress-
leaving the setting sun to the West and a rainbow to the East,
like a garter to be removed by the sunset
never so pure had I seen a rainbow,
gilded by the setting sun and saturated by the blue twilight,
it's band of purple spreading contrails into the evening sky,
as if blown South by the wind
I opened the sunroof and turned up the cd player,
screamed in unison with Eddie Vedder-
-"WHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH"-
and mashed my foot on the gas petal;
white knuckled gripping the steering wheel
the never ending road,
the sky,
the trees,
the fields,
and the night were all MINE
I downshifted and roared forward,
whipping in between minivans-
trying to catch up to an aging red Volvo,
and get another glimpse of the girl driving it
Jason
*I wish I was the full moon shining off your camaro's hood-Eddie Vedder*

I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind - E.V.
