Non Chem Trails

i saw circles
being drawn
in the sky

most folks
call them
buzzards

but others
like myself
prefer turkey

vultures
no fault of
theirs as

they fly over
a joni mitchell
parking lot

where there
in the lonely
is my first

road tripping
yellow chevy
chevette

hatchback
of course
not quasi

modo
hunchback
or even once

thought to
be a certain
musical sub

marine
but what
does this

sight
this vision
of visions mean

these birds
circle only
the dead or

dying
so it 
might

seem that 
my life that 
has passed

is exactly
just that
though

even though
i liked my
past i'm

loving the
possabilaties
of my future
