Somewhere

down the dirt road of the subconscious, we

drift aimlessly along as if we are expecting

a solution to roll up beside us, letting us 

kmow we are on the right track...  and yet,

being on the right track is always unexpected

since we meander back and forth in relative

obscurity to those around us...  we seek a

conscious expression of reality, looking for

answers where there are none, expecting

justice when justice serves only the wealthy,

and the rest of us, squirm along the surface

of life, trying to make do and not go too far

into debt or raise our expectation that there

might be a better life ahead of us somewhere.
