By James D. Casey IV
Thrill seekers
at the end of the world.
Driven down paths
of Mad Max dreams.
Underneath
long beards
protecting their necks
from vampires
underneath
a different spell.
I won’t know until tomorrow,
behind a different addiction,
if I have the live forever blues.
Have you seen the perfect life?
Have you seen the past?
What about the future?
