Thanksgiving, 1971,
a parachute pilgrim approaches Northwest Flight 305
as Dan Cooper, anonymous businessman,  anarchist airborne, 
black suit, black sunglasses, a black tie

To sit with Carlton Vishizwa and Charlotte Genivieve,

The plane looked old and fairly worn,
the sky was grey, about to storm.
They hurried us along the aisles,

at runway’s end we turned about.

Gratitude for running water on tap... 
and heat flowing with a snap

After shaving and showering,
yours truly feels winsome
though morose seeing
unwanted adipose "love handles"
inflating mine abdomen and tum

She ran away when 
She was 13 years old
Nobody filed a 
Missing person report

Got in with a driver

Made her convict uncle

And by him,...

to lecture on human resources,
