End of the Line

Baptism by fire: ride the long roadway- Teaneck to Abilene greased white lightin' center-line dervish dances always out of reach just beyond the windshield where cement meets car hood ambiguous cipher of motion aide de camp in those languid coffee stretched hours possible flash of light on the tired retina or a message  in Death's Morse Code garbled via translation when the transmission is interrupted by whining wheels. The air is glass thunder flowing round movement twisting backwards upon itself painfully-- sleep sliding slow wait now for nothing only  but closing up Pandora's box.
