Red Journal – Poem – Drive Through
We drive through as if we see
more than a few dotted yellow lines
and a few inches of crumbling black
Pieces of pine trees emerge,
emulating an outline for our
path traveled.
Eyes ahead, we sometimes spare eachother glances.
Our tattered clothes rest upon yellow bits of foam
poking through, against us.
His weathered, nicotine hands grip
the pin pricked pattern of
brown, leather
wheel.
One denim and grease leg is stead to the floor.
The other leg rocks side to side
keeping in time with the tune
on the radio.
One hand rests his head
lids half open, four ‘o clock shadow running late
lips half parted in concentration on the early am mist
parting for the boat front.
Spiral Book – Calvin & Romulans
They would be Calvin’s allies against the Romulans. The Romulans’ weakness was coca-cola. An injection of coca-cola in the blood-stream produced death. Except for on area, however, the Romulans’ skin was totally toughness with a capital T.
The skin defied all attempts to penetrate it. One weakness was the neck. Romulans never went necking with anyone. Vrombies had teeth like poisonous snakes. They can eject any kind of liquid through them. The Vrombies would bite the Romulans on the neck and inject coca-cola into their system.
