Foggy Mountain Drive

Twilight becomes daylight,
from damp fields -
fog of never here nor there,
ghostly future impressions,
spiderwebs holding onto hopeful promises of distant conversations;
It's shimmering expectation,
a romanticized past that beats on as we drive
down the side of winding roads:
To see there is nothing to see;
to expect there is nothing to expect -
like the wet, mirrored leaves,
love is just a reflection letting go in all directions

The sun was just scattered modes of light on the tired PA trees, when Jim from Jersey, sitting slightly behind and across the isle, began to talk to me. We quickly agreed that the Mayans were masters of the stars, kings of celestial bodies, resting in astronomical intricacies. We agreed that they weren't profits; and it was just by some sick twist of fate that the world is ending so close to such an infamous, arbitrary date. We agreed that life is crude and that, if we could, we'd make god fuck the asshole of the moon. And as the bus filled up with chatter, and weary sleepers waking up, we hit a dubious
