I pass shadows on the freeway,
they scamper from the center lane
and head off in each direction
as I drive by.
The steady drone of
Rush Limbaugh
mires my eardrums.
I would scamper if I could,
because his satanic words
look to draw me down
some path of bigotry,
a path I'd rather not venture.
And while salvation is a knob away,
the shadows seem to haunt me
in ways that are inescapable.
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.
