Description
Digression of A Crazy Man
By: Charles Phillips

I drive my car with one arm and one eye ever vigilant.
Fore my other arm and other eye lay, lay and looking back to the West.
The land of my past.

A past with no future in sight of my mind.

The hot steam of the burning car engine resonates in my nose.
I smell the fear that is my own fate.
And yet I gladly keep driving toward my own end.

Still with my one eye and arm ever vigilant.
My other arm grabs hold of my past and keeps pulling me back.
I want to strangle it and chew it off much like the coyote so I can proceed into my destiny.

A destiny that I'm not sure if I'm ready for it.
I hold my head up high and laugh into the winds of time.
Time is no longer on my side.

No longer on my side.
As I fight the current of the mighty river of life and still hold on to my past as it helps anchor me to who I am.

And in one fail swoop I let go.
No longer myself and not different all in the same.
I am at peace with me.
For once I am happy in my mind.

Would you like to see my pet.

He guards what left of my sanity and fear.
Sometimes I'd Like to see him put down.
My sanity is nothing like what I act.

I act like a mad man running in the winds.

I hold my past once more.
But this time even tighter then before.

My brain is a cliff, I want to jump off it.
Oh how sweet it is says the man one face.
Because my two are laughing at him.

I end where I began, Unannounced to myself or my former friends.
