Back in the rip-roaring days of the twenties
Free sex was available and there sure was plenty
While doing the Jelly Roll
Girl's parts they would show
And men started flashing their twenties

STEAMING NOSTRILS, RIP-ROARING LOUD
you know a great movie when you press your own palm
over your mouth, eyes pop, breath rasps
open the gates, all of them

R andom radicals rush rip-roariously on ward
O nerously oggling on-lookers abroad
A nnealing axle-grease atop ankle-high boots
D eliberately dashing dilettante seekers
T raveling tenaciously toward tree-lined detours
R oad rage roars, racers recline, rear-wheels wheelie
I mprobable instances intoxicate incalculable intensity
Probably, they'd get there alive!?
S irens sound
E mptiness emanates extravehicular extemes
N ickle-plated, nonentities now
D eath, death, dangles
I nsanities inane inference
N ickle-plated, nonentities now
G one.

RIP ROARING WOMEN
Some of us
are just born quirky
Run from kitchens
Hide
From the housewifely tasks
Read hardy boy books
Sitting in an apple tree
Some of us collect bruises
instead of dolls
Some of us
Want to fly
Want to climb away the fear
Of never fitting in
yearning for new books instead of gowns
Here’s to you Malala
Who wants to fly
into the world of books
Pakistani child, 14 years old
Taliban hit, yet still survives
defied bullets
May you live on to climb with us
We are still climbing
Reading
Jumping
Flying
Struggling but climbing into
Joyful lives of contentment
