on the road again

left the baggage behind boarding a train headed West



heart heavy like a brick



all i need is the flask hidden in my pocket.



Somewhere this way,



a bar stool bares my name,



daring me to get lost in the bottom



of an empty glass.



Here i am,



ticket in hand



on a train full of strangers.



In the distance i hear the voices of



lovers talking,



babies laughing



and I'm getting drunk on the canvas of the horizon.
