Highway Stretches



Cops in cars;topless bars
Gin and whiskey run,run,run
Highway stretches endless,numb
Millions of twists and turns
Faces known,unknown appear,disappear
on my lovelorn rear view glass
Cops in cars;topless bars
Gin and whiskey run,run,run
Escort services,girls and dance
Arti cries out in late night fern
Gold and diamond;diamond and drums
Promises of emptiness the cynic sun burns
Helen hymns Paris` plum;twin-towers topple
Civilizations burn
Alaknanda awaits by the River Of Rum
The tide of Virginity sinks,sang,sunk
Kumar see-saws love-bieds` love,emptying
champagne prime and proud
Hey arti,Pain is good
But too much Pain is bad!
