these days there's no reason to travel any other way
Knotbrook Taylor
you get to heaven in a minibus
it has a white paint job
and white upholstery
as you pass through
the world between
you see strange yet beautiful things
like trees with clouds for leaves
perfectly rounded hills
and sprays of indigo flowers
simple like being
in a primitive painting
or a happy memory
time passes
you drift in and out
the seats are so restful
in fact
its such a pleasant ride
that you will not remember
the exact moment
when you reach your destination
and step off the bus
