Westward, Ho!
There was I
and there was her
& then there was you
the Chinese
(or is it the Japanese-no matter)
picture word for trouble
is a man with a woman on either side
smart, weren’t they?
so it’s an old story,
one man-two woman or
one woman-two men
I dream
a horse...or Harley.
I ride off, forever, to the horizon.
west, naturally
I’m tough.
I cook simple meals over an open fire.
sleep under the stars
& I’ll never, ever, fall in love
again.
