Only the finest of Vogon Poetry to crush your soul and tease your melancholy

Cruising

It was a clear and crisp night as the young man wandered down the lonely country road, he thought.

Of the past, a lovely girl that he left behind.

Of the future, another woman he must find.

Of the present....

Headlights appear on the horizon

"Finally a ride" he thinks

He cocks his thumb out as the careens down upon him and screeches to a halt in front of him. He hops into the sleek black Cadillac.

And it speeds off into the dead of night.

Deep + Dark

Hidden+ Not Shown

Keep it covered

No One should know

Only for yourself

Ashamed + Not Proud

Shouldn't have happened

Can't take it back

Learn to live on

Dirty + Not Clean

Thoughts keep Coming

Am I the only one

Gone

Because another Day's passed

Hope to god

It's not near the last

Where to be?

When the next comes 'round

In the city on sin?

Not the one under ground

(Dis, I would not miss)

Maybe forward instead of

Backwards this time

though each year's a vintage, still

I've tasted better wine.

4/15/5

The open road calls my name, Though it promises no fame

To far off cities I must go, What's there for me, don't know

But still I must travel on Just following the setting sun

Let it Lead where it may, Hopefully towards a sunny day

Although with no darkness some flowers don't bloom, So sometimes I'll follow the moon

It's path less clear and often hazy, I just hope it doesn't lead me crazy

Though I only follow what I can see, I know others have ventured before me

In their footsteps I will tread, Till the day I end up dead

4/16/5

Standing on the edge of a cliff

and wondering if

I can risk it all

only to fall

or if I try

can I fly

Maybe life's forces will pull me down

all the way till I hit the ground

I cannot foresee the outcome good or bad

cannot judge by past failures or successes I've had

All I can say with any certainty

Is staying here is no good for me

4/17/5 My life is like....

A little boy

in a foreign land, not knowing where he's going or even where he stands

A song

with no beat, Hard to find a reason to clap or stomp your feet

A traveler

at a bus station just wasting time til reaching his final destination

A turtle

stuck on it's back laying defenseless and open; awaiting attack

A story

with no end hopefully ill get to share it with a dear friend

S&D

I was there, you never showed

though no directions gave, I thought you'd know

Now time has passed, gotta hit the road

I've been where I going, nowhere new will I go

I thought we'd hang, together we'd swing

boy was I wrong, and sorry at that

Now I'm here, came to see you

But you seem entrapped in an unhappy life

I'd wished you the best and wished your relationship had grew

Still, against all reason I'd still make you my wlife

555 aka Sitting on a street corner in Birmingham

Cars flying by, some stopping

but never-ending,

Don't know where they're going.

Hell! I don't even know where I am

I'm waiting for a familiar face to came and get me

and take me away from this plaza called Century

I hope she arrives sooner than later

that is later than my alternator

of which Sears ordered the wrong size

asking me would have been wise

so now I wait tile the job is done

then I can get on the road and have some more fun

but in reality my life's light is always green

It's always a good time to go is what I mean.

All Lanes Closed

Totally gridlocked, no one's getting through

I riding the clutch, watching what people do

drowning in this sea of cars, going to The City

Anyone with a schedule to maintain i do pity

'cause we're all swimming nowhere fast

any slower and we'd be in the past

If only I had someone here to help pass the time

anyone to laugh or play with would be sublime

So alone I will continue to crawl along

if this were a show, I would pound a gong

and this traffic act, would be dragged from the stage

then I would be able to go on to life's next page

If you read this all the way through, I hope you at least got a giggle out of it.

These were all sincerely written by me 14-18 years ago they were sooo bad, I was so immature.
