Both Poles Are Damn Cold

Not all those who wander are lost. - Thoreau

crash and burn race car driver

skydiver with no ripcord

overloaded cargo freighter

slippery, curvy road masquerading as straighter

see me now

hear me again and later

unbalanced beam

pogo stick

trampoline

stretched rubber band

compressed spring

never knowing what the next minute may bring

marathon of mixed signals

sprint of racing thoughts and feelings

from slow dancing to twist and shout

the music fast and loud

heavy burden to feathery cloud

wailing guitars to funeral dirge

whatever floats the dingy with the hole when you get the urge

vacillating 'tween stark, euphoric mania and wormlike, bottomless depression

caught in an endless, emotional riptide

exhausting, forced fun and a hell of a ride

Author's Note

"I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees." - Thoreau
