Temper temper
unrepentant apologies
flash-point peripheral
standard procreation
sub-optimal alliteration
juxtapose a finality
upon mind-bending
purpose
heard the herd run toward a curb
slipshod shitshow
worrying on the nod
8 cylinder biped
gloriously hateful
Machine shop low ride
drop top nonsense
no kidding around
when so down
all washed out
in the basin
Need to find that rest stop
for the spirit
close to empty
where can you buy
fuel for soul
open highway curtain call
just a little Need, just a small desire is all
tripping on a breakdown
cluttered cerebral
injustice
pavement back-beat
floating on rubber rearguard
chromatic armor thrumming
in time
with sporadic
heart
piston pounding
out the sounds
of slow derision of self
on the shelf
by the pictures of formality
take the keys and run
must find more
before this half-life
eats the core, encore
accelerate
Yes indeed you show me once again your mind is a steel trap!
