Jack Henry

long empty roads across
green fields, dense forests
filled with old homes
that sit silent at
the edge of a road

bounce along flowing w/
traffic, mosquitoes slam
against windshields
endless cigarettes kill
time

perfect serenity at each
mile marker i pass
almost forgetting foreclosed
homes, boarded up businesses
and people laughing through
pain

bars fill w/locals, welcome
me like heaven, just like my home
we fight misery one mile
marker at a time
