Best Packard Poems


Premium Member Prosopography In Blue

waiting
with diaper on 
for this woman to get up 
off the kitchen floor and
stop bleeding while a man 
hovers over her with grimace 
and clinched fist

waiting
for our first-grade teacher 
to stop crying 
over the P.A. announcement 
that the president 
has just been assassinated 
in Dallas

waiting
on the spirit of Christmas 
to return days after the news 
that mother's favorite song "You Send Me" 
had just been shot and killed
a few blocks from our home

waiting
in the backseat of a Packard 
for the policeman to stop screaming 
at my father as urban soldiers 
toss fire from their hands 
in our neighborhood just outside of Watts

waiting
at LAX for Wilt the Stilt 
to come back and finish 
signing autographs after 
some idiot just called him a freak

waiting 
for the bowtie and scowl 
to let go of my arm so I 
can shake the hand of 
the Greatest of All Time 
as he starts his comeback 
with an exhibition bout 
in East Los Angeles

waiting
with eighteen-year-old trembling knees 
for that sheriff deputy 
to remove his pump action shotgun 
from my temple

waiting 
in the delivery room 
for the wrong woman 
to have my child

waiting 
at a motel 
for the right woman 
to find the time 
to slip away

waiting
on the side of 
the ninety-one freeway 
for a motorcade to pass 
shortly after the funeral 
of a former president 
shamed by the Watergate scandal
 
waiting
and looking 
while holding onto 
the entry gate at 875 S. Bundy Dr. 
for some sign of what really 
happened that night

waiting 
along with F.E.M.A. and the Red Cross
for the distraught woman
to come with us to safety 
days after the Northridge earthquake 
leveled her million-dollar home

waiting
at the hospital
for my first grandchild 
to be born while her father
who's been convicted of battery
is nowhere to be found

waiting, waiting
seems like I'm always
waiting

A City Walk

The day had changed
From a chilly fall morning
Into a warm autumn day
As I walked down
A car infested road
That led to the center of town

Off to my right
I noticed
In the high grass
That bent in various directions
Near the end of the curb
An old, dead
Hewlett-Packard printer

I stopped for a time
And looked
At this once mighty machine
Rusted and broken
Almost hidden
By the uncut grass

My mind ran wild
Imagining its better days
When this once powerful machine
Ran through paper after paper
Happily humming along
With nary a problem or a care

But now
It has been tossed aside
For some reason
Into the wild grasses
Of a city street

So I said goodbye
With a little prayer
And once again
Continued my way
Down the block

When suddenly
Off to my left
I spied
A dead
Old
Smith Corona typewriter

Bugs Win

Jerry Packard was an entomologist
for which he was far from an apologist.
He's glad he faced down
his professor's frown
for refusing to become a proctologist


The Deed

The iciness of his smile 
seeped like osmosis through the crevices 
left on my face by the squint rooted 
on fires of a loud and angry sun. 

A tempest stormed across the dusty, red sky 
following the wake of his Packard of no color. 

His eyes with their misted askant look 
found us like the rain 
and the dark clouds took cover. 

Unowned feathers fled the frightened fields 
like tumbleweeds amid superior dusts of sleep 
wielding easily the pale club of the wind 
and swirling the soul of a flower strike. 

- an utter-able chill - 

Where lurched the deeds of green thrilling light 
with thinned new fragile yellows? 
Spoiled and stale like the scant and stunted ears of corn 
not able to sprinkle the acres 
that had fallen into battlefields. 

Picket's Charge in woods that stuttered and clapper-clawed 
songs that stirred the few scrawny birds that stayed on. 

Sharecroppers in the Dust Bowl 
walked on loose strands of primitive tightropes. 

One could hear the blast across the Great Plains 
all the way to Boise City. 
Blood oozed from the side of my palate, 
decadal fertilizer at long last leaching the dry ground. 

As I lay dying - 
he reached toward the heavens – swanking the deed 
and cackling like a hexed slime eel.

Premium Member Nothing Moves the Moon

The customs men shake their heads
and watch the women enter Mexico.
Three with skirts, white socks,
one with jeans 
and proper blouse.
Seventeen, eighteen
just out of Concord Academy
in a black Packard Super Clipper,
not quite as big as a hearse.
They buy silver jewelry from the women
and beers and tamales from a man.
Night comes,
they watch the moon large 
over the Pacific.
They lay under the Packard on blankets,
staring at it
while a whitehaired man swats away
with a broom handle
two stumbling young men 
who get too close to them.

What happened, Mom?
We asked her about then-
The summer of 1949.
Did you meet a boy there?
No, nothing happened,
she said.
Nothing happened.
We went there
and came back.

It was the lull in between,
everything happening.
And then- 
Everything happening.

I see it now,
my mother,
the girls,
the moon reflected in their eyes,
the smooth Pacific,
a guitar, a song in the air.

Their moments run through me,
each one,
as though
I had never been born.

Exploited Ladies

Of late except the Hummer original war zone macho look.
Packard marque logo displayed a twentieth century flying lady piece. 
Other brand images, hyped products lived with beautiful women
All to woo, the neo-rich the good and the ugly men; filthy rich:

Old Ladies now restrained, new generative order marched forward
Giant Rolls Royce phantom chose the sleek super woman model lines 
BMW market sentiments configured cars with ladies; attracting men 
Lady celebrities flirted with the automobile industry.

Today men have dream car encounters with lithe womanly beauty
Soft and silky riding in true aristocratic behavior, 
Each curve or turn touched by his sizzling predefined instigation;
To suffers her enslavement with joy as she plays to his whims.

How I love a young replaceable mate exposing wild raw radiance
Never to question, disagree with my fascinating performance.

Liwat Rib

In 1958 we saw the end of an era.
Mused the Curtiss Wright scholar.
he told a crowd of people
that an America that didn't
trust in the newness of creativity
would see a day were only exterior machines
would be looked at as something American enough
to be bought. Standing on the Promises of Yesteryear he
saw using the brands of yesteryear as the way to
move America forward.
He talked of reinventing the way we travel.
By moving the design forward
and never looking back.
Not using the samples of yesterday: but
creating new product under a Brand Name recogniable
enough to create family oriented appeal to modern auto's..
Bringing people together in the ailenment of futuristic design.
Creating quality Auto's and Luxury Products
were people from all ages could be proud to spend and buy.
The aquistion of Parkard motor Company:
to create from the sketch pad, a product
that would rival all companies. Building both
handcrafted timepeices
and the manufacturing of
products that would set the standard for quality
across the globe. He ended his speech
saying" Packard: where have you Been!"

We had;
Interlude and

   A star is born and
Gone with the wind.

   A child bride and
The Wizard of Oz.
   Cocaine Fiends and
Sweeney Todd.

   The Jaguar and
The gay divorcee.
   The Marx brothers
And the Maserati.

   79 Park Ave and
Mannequin.
   The Porsche and
Erroll Flynn.

   The Rolls Royce and
Curly top.
   John Wayne and
King Porter stomp.

   The Packard and
Hilo Hawaii.
   Gary Cooper and
The Bugatti.

   Frankenstein and 
The Alfa Romeo
   The Fiat and 
Abbott and Costello.

   The BMW and
Eternal call.
   The Lone Ranger and
All creatures great
 and small.

   The Bentley and
Agent Carter.
   The Green hornet 
And Days of Honor.

   An Indian summer
And The Duesenberg.
