How to Go There

Empty-handed to the ferryman. Headlong and ass-backward at once.
Fall into the whirlwind. Give it all up. Give in.

By train. By way of Ditty-Wah-Ditty.
Over the top and under the radar.
Faster than the laws allow, but slower than your sins can follow.

Like a bat out of hell. Like a pig from a poke.
With a bishop’s blessing and a con man’s curse.
Past the end of the line.

Overboard in a lead balloon. Off the map. Off the grid. Off the rails.
Punch a ticket for nowhere.
Go to Hell. Ride the flaming falls all the way down.
