Buffalo River Home

Taking off...landing...airport's closed. Dreamer or willfully ignorant…or detached?

Running wild and free..drinking, not in in self-medication way...but in fuel for the journey way and unknowingly-dull-the-senses-way.

All the while the paint peels...time marches on...no rider in the flesh and bone: I see that as void of spirit, soul, “life force”, an empty vessel as it were. At the very least a partially filled vessel~ hole in my soul.

Hits the big city wide eyed and bushy tailed...end up pounding the pavement in daddy-o's wing tips.

Forgets all two of life's lessons...still dreaming...yet life's grand and full of surpirses for this guys, as the beareded lady's trick is worth the price of admission and then some, so you enlist, let that pony ride...void of driver.
