My Road
(an original poem by Marie-Therese Knepper)

The road yellow-bricked
Nothing but a trick
Of little girl's braided tales
In Cinemascope.

Don't you ever lie
My father's destined alibi
Gave me whiplash
Sent my head to spinning.

Good news flyers
Suited liars
Hidden demons
- Not really -

Buried not hidden
Unearthed and good riddance
Nothing but a dead end
Hell's U-turn

The big con
Save for One
The White-Horsed Rider
THE Benefactor

Could have been
Road kill sheen
Just a living dog
Who keeps walking

Until we meet again . . .
