[ SK ] Rite Of Passage
Misfortune And Glory
You could say Ray Brower ended up
the only true celebrity that weekend
---raised wrong side of tracks, us four
nobodies hoped to be someone different
seasons further down the line
Right Under Their Noses
It was those goddamn pennies
Vern buried! Several dollars worth
in a mason jar under his front porch;
digging for the buried treasure, he
unearthed whereabouts of the body
Looney Bin Bound
Teddy had a mind of his own
---a batshit crazy one at that---
rarely listened to anyone; having
had both ears stovetop seared
by a PTSD afflicted dad explains why
Stand By Me
The gun smuggled along on our quest
came in handy; saved us from Ace
and his goons ( or our own stupidity
( not sure which ) ); the victory was
as short lived as Chris and the others
Return To Castle Rock
Gordon Lachance authored several books;
I pause, wondering if the only one who
survived our childhood of dysfunction
abuse, and neglect was so he could
live to tell you about it
