Riding the road
Headlights gobble the road ahead And spit it out of the rear view mirror. Eyes narrow to slits Staying awake becomes difficult Somewhere between the fence posts A car pulls over to let the driver sleep. Stars twirl overhead marking time Mercury and Jupiter dance by the moon. Eyes search frantically...

Save the daylight?
Clock tock Back ahead Morning darker Filled with dread Saving daylight isn’t so hard Only go out When the sun is in the yard Click tick Digital chrono Wakes me with a song Like Sonny Bono It’s got me babe It’s got me….

Space Plowboy
