600 Miles 


Driving west on I80
600 miles to Cheyenne

200 miles of
corn, soy, corn, soy, corn, soy
going by at 74 MPH

Jim Morrison on the CD changer, moaning,
Rider On The Storm
There's a Killer On the Road

Oh man….will this black ribbon
Lead me anywhere I want to be?

Ahhhh….MacDonald's….
Number 6 please…double quarter pounder
WITH cheese, super size it!

Omaha….400 miles of NOTHING to Cheyenne
Can anywhere with a place named Ogallala
Really be nothing??

Bonnie Raitt ripping at my heart crying
I Can't Make You Love Me
If You Don't

North Platte…125 to…what??
Why the hell am I making this trip??
What's there??

A weekend in heaven….for how long in hell?
A woman so immersed in herself
That there is no room for anyone else

Sorry Succubus….not THIS bird

Driving East on I80
600 miles to Duh Moines…
