The Road

It doesn’t judge, it doesn’t slander, the way that I live,

I like the silent love, the tarmacadam madam gives,

like with my adventure, it ride’s both coarse and smooth,

as a cat’s eye lights the way, and the pothole makes me move.

 

Though I converse with my kind, that are inside the car,

a stronger speech blooms wordlessly, underneath the stars,

both before and after; I have bled for my art,

my peepers become a jeepster, for the road that beats my heart.

 

Even when you meander, you are straight with me,

as with telepathic thought, we uncover some revelry,

so; that I can escape that number, of 7.9 billion,

a population, that continues to stir up some oblivion.  

 

If only we, the talking monkeys, could be more like you,

a shining example, to act less proud, to cause less a bruise,

unto each other, to yourself, and the planet we call home,

thank you, tarmacadam madam, for making sure I’m not alone.
