Walking from the horrid old motel, and out into the smaze, 
a suffocating day, worsened now, by a mocktail shade of smog
in mockumentary proportions, she flounders in a fog.
Too dazed by crazy sitcoms that seem...

(To commemorate the final flight of the Space Shuttle Discovery)

A majestic bird flared for a picture perfect landing on this historic day.
Its tires gently kissed the welcoming earth in a magnificent display!

It's five o'clock, she checks her watch, at last the work day's done
Her forehead pounds, a coke is found, she gulps two aspirin down
Walking through the parking lot, a cell phone to her ear
Three calls...

One Eye or Both?One Eye or Both?

One eye on the future’s mirages, one eye on past’s mirrored reflections,

Under a Winding Blacktop
Slow or fast
we think behind a slip stream,
a contrail of the gone;
of what went by a momentary window
            long ago.

Asleep under a blacktop,

Something’s happening, let’s call it sunrise, for now,
and summer vacation in Geneva, in umm.. 10 hours.

Dislocation

Split, wider then, two edges of whirling river
All vanished, remnants of hopes fading as in dim
Not joining eyelids in night time remembering.

Century prolonged witnessing boring,
Creating a precinct in realm...

Soccer moms need gas each day 
To move their vans along the way.

Without the fuel to fly so high?

Little did the Ford man know
How fast the number of cars...

Crossing Over-Turned Around
Through the eye of the needle,
Not to the left or the right
Dodging both on the comets tail

I streak into the light
My last wish out in front
As words melt in a fiery contrail

The  seven  gaze  into the azure haze:  
In their prism-sky the heavens seem opening.   
All are happy, “We’re going home at last.”

Sailing feathered clouds across the blue sky
Haloed sundogs clinging to white mares’ tails
Storied concentric glories way up high

Sailing feathered clouds across the blue sky
Flying towards the sun’s healing...
