It's poetry time. I know, I know... everyone's favorite. I promise to try and make mine at least bad enough to be amusing.

Irony.

Alley cats with matted fur
sharpen claws on every word
silent stalking in the dead of night
blackened eyes shun the light
patiently waiting for their chance
around the corner and on the fence
slap and scratch, rip and tear
blood and bone, eyes and hair
in defense I ask them why?
knowing felines winked their eyes.
entrails dangling, I slither away
another beating, the christian way

Yet more suspect poetry by yours truly..

love is...
- - - -
love
another leading on
no pieces left to break
no blood left to suck
razor
cut wrists sting
like frostbitten skin
not love
a knot inside, pulled tight
excuses
loosen your hold
...for a moment
your grip tightens even more
feet patter
your heart runs
black lines down your face
flow to the winter within
frigid
bitter cold
frozen water beneath your sole
escape
surface cracks
white lines form
nobody around to see
nothing inside to feel
look upwards silver snow
white flowers slowly fade
descend
lungs burn with anticipation
weary,
no need for vacation
cold flesh settles
in darkness and solitude
no living memory remains.
no living soul remembers.
no reason left to endure
eternal sleep is the only cure.

what's gotten in to me tonight? I'm actually using LJ again.

So I've been thinking of doing a solo road trip, maybe to California & back, maybe up north and back. In either case I'll be doing it on a shoestring budget and have heard that hostels are a great alternative to pricey motel rooms.

This will be the second time I've made such a road trip, the first was around 11 years ago... damn, it doesn't seem that far back now. Anyhow I drove my 71 Pontiac to frisco & back. That was a real adventure (I drove back with exactly no money in my pocket), and while I have the means I'd really like to do it again.

Anyhow... hostels.. Are they safe, and are they easily found?

Happy in your little gray cube? I know I am. .
