about

Deb and I were riding the motorcycle to a family reunion in Hot Springs Arkansas. Once you get to Arkansas, most roads become two lane or one and a half lane, and start to meander. For a straight road to exist in Arkansas, they would have to build a bridge over the state. So after several hours of winding roads of varied speeds (none of them as much as 60 mph) I happened to glance off to the right while a curve swept us back to the left. I saw a “church” that looked like a converted double garage leaning dangerously away from the prevailing wind. A ragged looking sign with broken Plexiglas half covered the words: “More is not the answer.” I love riding motorcycles. My mind wanders as we roll along; aware mostly of potential dangers, but absorbing scenery and thinking in detail about endless topics. The “More” sign made me think how we are driven to own things, and the endless; seemingly mindless consumption that we all participate in. I guess I didn’t want to write about these things, though, because I ended up with a portrait of avarice and distain and lechery that actually manages to rock pretty well in spite of the dour subject matter.

about

Lucky Thorn Asheville, North Carolina

Raised in the midwest
Blown south by the wind
Lived; got older;
Discovered music again

Two old friends reconnected
As back in the day
"Let's have a reunion"
Someone would say

The reunion, as such
Didn't pan out
But there's no sadness here
Of that, there's no doubt

There's no fancy showcase
Or any display
And with this announcement,
We'll shut up and play
