A Long Ride

photo from a speeding car

Here we go

it starts again

the path is muddied

hide the crime

shift and pivot

convulse the truth

the gaslight blinds

a clear-eyed mime

a time-honored pride 

chokes and hides

behind a farce

caught in real-time

hold on tight

were in for quite

a long ride.
