“There’s a slow train a comin'”
suspending bridge to
off-track Motocross style,
it’s an instinctive way to see America
–unless you want to photo bomb a Stephen King flick–
commuters remain
soot-less & flange-free
and sounder than a missed Amtrak
no bar car, tho
since a derailed train can duck Cinder Dicks, all the same
override Dead Men’s Switch
& blow through diamond XX
summiting
elevations
Atlas shrugged off
it knows it can, that lil engine
boring stone
wall
with steam.

a mined diamond…
is it pick-axe? or Nature…
that renders it coal.

Mediums consult things,
spiritual things
pullin’ the Shades
& grabbing that cup
of lucky Yahtzee dice.
Symbolic things, 2,
take–4 example–
the
~Boogey Man~
no séance is complete without
at least 1
John Travolta

Present
to fuse some
Saturday Night Reaper
wit’
strobe-spangled
Scientology shenanigans .
He brings Spirits in a flask, &
pretty reliably, too,
who cares if he’s a Zeitgeist casualty?
Weave all been there…
collaterally damaged,
an’ loopin’ like
6 flags–
hell it’s what séances are for!
Ah, but back to John…
…who has remarkable penmanship
by the way, &
if the flask empties
before Happy Hour, you roll with it–
that 5 o’clock Shadow
works wonderfully well,
& subtracts nothing
from a sunny day, ’cause it isn’t as if
stubble reflects.

this skiPPer’s diPPer
refreshing potion
is Ice-Sea of knowledge
nicked from the ocean
A saline non-issue
that’s filtered thru kelp
–which doubles as swimsuit
and that’s a big help.
and sure there’s a
brain freeze
if too Big a Gulp
& globally warming
the outsides results.
Better to sip &
assimilate brine
since hydrated insight
applies itself fine.

…I got ESP-a-drills…
new eschews
to match my
pinned kilt,
mesh shirt,
& tarnished
hey-lo–

the lot of it complements
the electrician’s tape
on my temple
peace
just
so.

the daily prompt
you crack me up
asking if we’d work
an’ stuff
if money
was an issue moot
I swear to God
you’re just too cute!
what is it
we do each day
if not labor?
it ain’t play!
cropping pictures
punching say
filling web up
AOK

as last time that
my rabbit ears
appeared
they
popped
from
my arrears
and humorous
as that appears
this sphere ain’t why
my bank-drafts clear.
♦
I’d work for free
is what’s germane
a higher calling
bears my name
desire
to discover
same
& learning
truth of Living game.
