he was unaware
wolf
which was disappointing
never attempt to move or donkey punch
the empire state building
ten years of planning
ten years of shrooms
ended with puppets
and strings like cave cheese
and shreddies
we were alone in the pool
the lifeguard looked like
satan's gumdrop
layered like pie
and like a puppet on a string
junk socks and dutch rowboats
i told reception it was my first time at this pool
i was told i could use my token for the locker
i told reception again it was my first time at this pool
an overchlorinated swimming hole

Thunderbird princess lives in her own truth
Aware of her many assets, shining her light,
Showing confidence and capability in all she does
Her words wise, her counsel sought by others
Revered and respected, a sky daughter of Apache

You could afford a refurbished pink bathroom
yet you had a frayed t shirt
you sapped your Bitter
and had mechanical 70s Whispers
like your clock building,
But I'm interested in your mind
I am quite listenable
I want to share your Thunderbird wine
and be sanguinely addressed by you

My sky friend knew the glistening wound would
Prove fatal as my faith pulled
Itself to the side of the highway to die
Among that patch of diesel blooms and
Pull tabs. He did not weep for me.
He knew as I do the reason for the
Turn and others would soon
Though no spirit would be bled
As slowly as his. The Birds of Thunder
Can only flash their warnings through ageless tears
From eyes known only to me.
Eyes of red and of tears.
Only one-and-a-half score will see the end.
The sky watchers will notice tonight .
But for now the ozone burns
Off the life-light and makes the azure blanket
Curtain-like.
Yet the event will not be known
for days and understood never
(like the bird of time and of tears and of spirit).
They and I are not of this World;
Aliens to logic but also fear.
And as the ending begins
Few will remember this day
The red star left the sky.

When a Ford Mustang and a T-Bird collided it created a mess for sure!
When cops arrived on scene all that remained was a pile of feathers and a heap of manure!

She sits by the window for her morning crossword
Coffee cup in hand struggling to find a buzzword
The fresh air carries melodies so pleasantly heard
Yet still she feels somewhat like a jailbird
Is there anything more absurd
Streaking by a Thunderbird
Not the first time it’s now the third
Conjuring memories easily deterred
And can’t help but look sheepishly inward
When gently comes to mind a keyword
So she picks up her notebook her vision blurred
And starts to write a poem half heard
Inspired by both songbird and mockingbird
Either way it holds to her soul the password
Setting her heavy heart free as if sepulchered
By the feeder comes fluttering a hummingbird
Light and gloriously free perfectly undeterred

Oh my bird my awesome, you fly down the highway, all 8 cylinders pumping,
oh how you make my blood boil, ripping wind through my hair,
faster and faster we go, not seeing anyone we know ,oh to fast you go
it is a wonderful feeling to know you are mine, my thunder bird
I love to hear your engine whine,squealing and screeching our tires every where we go
oh how wonderful to know you are mine , my race car, my dream car,
my awesome gift from my dad, no man can catch me as we fly.
oh my bird my awesome bird how we fly

A Mustang and a Thunderbird tangled
Both automobiles were badly mangled
When the cops sorted it out
There was seen strewn all about
Horse manure and feathers when untangled
