BURN_madly or An Ode to "On the Road"

i wish life was like
Dean Moriarty said it was
i could just
let
the wheel
go

come on
let’s go
out there
to the west
back
to the east
then back
to the west
rinse and
repeat
until fulfilled
then pump ourselves
full of
caffeine
and get it all down on a big old roll
of teletype paper

me and you
let’s sit
think
talk
share
fall in love

coffee?

the two of us
you and i
we never were
and so we are
perfect

oh but
surprise

we’re mad
you and i
good thing the only people for me
are the mad ones
who never say a common thing

now let’s all go burn
burn bright
crackling loudly
burn fast
crackling loudly
burn long

let’s all
go mad
and
burn out
