Sign On The Highway Poem by Kevin Patrick

Down an orphaned bypass, trailing with ash
Near a slide of asphalt off the next ramp
Memories of gridlock are stained in the tarmac
As Tire tracks trail like, old Viking runes


And only the desperate come down this route
you can see it in windows, the haunted and scarred
Speeding along in their shortcut from shame
For this is the corridor made for the damned



and the billboard ahead, that's frayed and torn
Is still traced in words of proselytize dreams


(that nobody reads) -
(or cares to see)

for it says
HAPPINESS FOUND HERE!
