THERE IS NO PAIN ON THE HIGHWAY by Paul Chasse
There is no pain on the highway
hypnotic, asphalt siren song 
in
my ears again, I thought it muted (except
for the occasional sunday 
putt) by
good job, good woman, but all
overwhelmed, like the Nile floods 
&
wipes out the work of generations &
all is gone but the highway 
song &
as I struggle, a timeclock slave, my
empty wrist aches for the 
throttle
No, no pain on the highway, baby,
only roads, I love roads. The 
interstates,
long well maintained stretches of faceless 
anonymity, 
backroads, crumbling lost highways
potholes & crazy - quilt alligator 
cracks
running along fading, painted lines. Laugh &
worry lines on the 
soul of the continent.
There is no pain on the highway
Only sound, 
thrumming of hog's twin cylinders
beneath me, roar of a passing 
diesel,
wail of its air horn, tire song.
no pain on the highway
only 
wind, hot desert breath, cool
mountain breeze, salty seacoast sighing 
&
it never has to end, for there are always
more roads, loved and 
familiar, like a lover's body
or unknown unconquered alien territory
there 
is no pain on the highway
No hope, or despair, ambitions, disappointments, 
love, loss
only my magical steelchrome, fiery assed Odin horse,
a centaur, 
I, a myth, I don't exist & feel
no pain on the highway
 
 

"NO REGRETS! NO FEAR BABY!"
-- Paul Chasse
