Title: beck + call = 130 mph

3am, no moon, and I'm flyin' toward the Owl.
Hwy 8 is a long long lonely road
between Yuma and Gila Bend.
Distance numbs 130mph to a crawl.
Infinite numbers of Stuckies' gas stops
comminute the endlessly straight highway,
and become tiny patches of blurred light as I fly by.

My destination isn't Sheol,
No shadows or ghosts are waiting for me.
An overpass flashes over and around,
I feel death, push and urge me on.
Azi's pain drives excogitation
from my forgetful reluctant brain.
I obey their beck and call.

is to labour. -Robert L. Stevenson
