261.3, as the highway flies,247.7 from home.It ain’t that far,three-four on the road,to get there. Course, Joplin was only 60.6 when the storms hit,‘n we drove threw awe-struck at the destruction,but it don’t feel so close to home. ‘n there’s so much that ain’t right with this system,I ain’t keen ’bout how those loans work,I …

taut-stretched languid days spent on long-love, songs,sigh-drawn fingers and well travel skin. I miss most those storm-sodden days,spent bundled up, two against that relentless gray. But I’d rather craft craftless tales and piece-meal poems,I’d rather indulge in fantasy than *have* adventure.In my dreams I die content and …

But it’s got that refain.We’ve got to run, love.But.Beat to beat.Repeat. That record skip smile,those interstellar gazes,that tilted lilt eating its way through memories. and those flood-waters are comin’that levy’s cracked through and through,and storms drip rivulets down car windows,tires kicking up mist in the river-swells… the swell,the swell,the want to want to want… and …

and is the rondo gettin’ old,or is it that ostinato theme? ‘cause, love, I can’t get it out of my head,that echo kanon,the antiphon we know so, so well,but sung lonesome,a hip-slung arietta. but it’s got that refrain,We’ve got to run, love.But.Beat to beat.Repeat.
