Staunch, spine straight as a flagpole
Chin tucked into neckfolds of flesh
Face itch, lips blubber incessantly...
Hips thrust forward... twin bulldozers
Life expectancy, a speck in a sandstorm
Rows of medals under gray sash, Iraq
The way metal sounds tapping against a flagpole
Flash of brilliance
In the form of light
To be born
Bright child
lightning strike
Loud thunderstorm
Shine
The earth like a bow
Thrown through pale-earth sky
An electric charge of energy
An echoing cry
Of Life
A skinny yellow dog walks 'round
Needin' to find some shade.
The dusty little one street town
Is hot as God has made.
He eyed the flagpole in the square
No shadow could he see
He raised his leg an' aimed it there
"You ain't no help to me".

J just as cold a March and December
A always is the month of the wolf
N National spaghetti day on the forth of the month
U usually on the 3rd day it’s Festival of Sleep and Fruitcake Toss day
A and January named after the Roman God Janus
R run up the Flagpole and see if anyone Salutes Day on the second day
Y year is new so it’s a new year welcome to the quary it’s January

'Ran it up the flagpole'
(to see if it would fly)
was an overused ploy
from the advertising
world of the 1950's
and 60's.
Freedom rises in patriotic hues,
Lowered to half mast in mourning.
Abecedarians first salute of red, white and blues.
Greeting of new school day on slate-gray morning.
Pole sealed in globular cement — a foundation
Of a world of promise waving in the winds of fate.
Learning with loud claps of chalk dust in ovation.
Every student shaped by curved line or straight.
