all i need


"all I need

is long gone.

dirty roads

in red sun

that spatter

yellow and

baby blue

so so blue.

 

"dust is all

I have now.

ashes to

ashes and

dust to dust

it will rust

maroon and

black like tar

or old blood.

 

"all I see

is faded.

blurry and

unreal in

neon white

headlights on

miles and miles

of nothing.

 

"and all I

want is an

engine and

a hard wheel.

no catching

just sharp turns

that never

end and I'll

drive into

that red sun.

 

"that's all I

need today."
