The Loneliest Highway
Welcome to the danger zone You are alone on this path
Even when others may join you Each step is your own
And they slowly will lead you in a direction that is not that beaten
Because so few dare tread Afraid of stomping their toe
Or missing a meal or a payment
Afraid of not having the warmth of some young hooker
The absence of masculine stupidity
The fraudulent smiles of those in authority
They are afraid to be alone And they should be
It is not a path for the faint of heart
NO
Its prices cannot be compared to the latest luxury car
Or the most technologically intelligent house
NO
Here, you are alone
Where a good steak is earned and the beer is not sweet
Where friends and clergymen speak ill of you to their peers
Where walking is the preferred mode of transportation
Where sex is just sex but making a masterpiece is making love
Where conversations last for hours without a single word spoken
Where you are attacked, shot at, lied upon, for simply disagreeing
Where you are ostracized for asking Why
It is a lonely road

About the Book
. .how could she?
I am outraged!
Her feet are course and callous
How can I kiss feet
That are course & callous?
Where the hell have you been?
Maybe you should pack
Go back.
Someone else
Will like them, she said
What makes you so sure?
Because they can scratch
Behind the ears.
Put your bags down, I told her
Where are you going?
