Driver of Victory
Simon says: Thirteen’s my lucky number. Thirteen years ago, I took dad’s money and bargained with Time to make my name known. Fate nudged its elbow into my circuit.

Last Sunday, no one wanted that wreath more, the...

Indianapolis Look around What is it that you see? Is it the different under tones of grey hues coming from the tall cement and steel that towers around you or the numerous people who are numb to the fact that you even exist walking through their lives not even to bother to raise heads as you walk past or is it the...

To a Friend In Indianapolis
I know a girl who lives in Indy, She wore a short skirt on a day that was windy, When the wind blew, she thought it was a gas. To show all the people her little cute ass. As she strolled along, she bumped into a man, He smiled at her so sweetly, that she became his fan, He said...

Indianapolis Is Burning
The sky is red The fog is thick My body buzzes My mind is sick Too late to tell If this is all a dream I'm constantly grinding Inside the machine I'm spinning a web To catch all my hopes I'm getting closer To the end of my rope No solace found In this sea of distress What can I do To clean up this mess?...
