This is a rough draft for dVerse: cubist/impressionist observations during a brief drive on Brighton Road this afternoon.
Northbound on Brighton Road
I.
the road is endless
until it curves away
straight on
eternal blue in clouds
II.
the line is white
centre on
straight
solid
double broken
the radio hums
III.
love, love me do
I still know every word
I hum hum solid,
broken double on
IV.
I want my life to
end happy
Love, Love Me
Do

I agree with the last part. I want my life to end happily also although I don’t think of the ending so much as wanting those present moments to be happy, but I’ll settle for the ending to be happy.

I was humming along with you on short drive, smiles ~ But my favorite is the first one, with the endless road & blue clouds ~

Love that opening verse, Misky, and the reference to the Beatles’ song since I just saw the documentary of them by Ron Howard last weekend.

Loved the first verse especially. Having lived through the Beatles from beginning to end, I especially enjoyed the first verse. Excellent form on this.
