Along the Avenue


     All along the avenue, cotton candy stands, fun houses, and games of chance were tightly shuttered, like clowns without makeup.
                                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     The tomb lies at the end of every path. Only the soul is immortal. Guard this treasure well. Your decaying husk is but a temporary vessel on an endless voyage.

As Far As We Could


She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam, i guess
But i used a little too much force
We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out west
Split up on a dark sad night
Both agreeing it was best

Tangled Up in Blue
(Dylan)

Slowly Moving People


        He stood in front of the restaurant for a moment, his eyes moving across the drab, unlovely town, across the gray rows of grocery stores and cafes and cleaning establishments and offices and churches, all so quiet now ; across the slowly moving people, also gray, also quiet.

Charles Beaumont
The Intruder
1959

What is Enough


        Somebody once said that we never know what is enough until we know what's more than enough.
