Open Road


Open Road
Laijon Liu 20180616

Too busy to dodge the potholes
and blind to see the dead end road
wreckages towed out of a fender-bender
u-turn back to no-where we’ve come from

things going down swirl, down swirl
pulling down like a flushing toilet non-stop
heavy rains pummeling on our windshield
riddle tear holes in our beating hearts

like an old champ we crawl up
and right back on the canvas
flashes, noise, twinkling light bulbs
numb, sharp pain… on and off, on and off
