Long Poems About Cars

maybe it's an accidental accent, shock, or why EMT's are always so handsome.
(i.)
July 2019
it's searing and bone protruding
eyes blinded, bloody
shards of glass and encroaching fear
red, blue, and yellowish-white lights blur
a language I can't quite understand
or an accent maybe
cold, so cold - like Ohio, when I was small
Am I frozen?
Maybe I was dreaming of long ago...?
Then I tried to move
my legs work, my fingers move
my arms and head
wait,...

Hell on a Stick Pt. 2: Car Talk
The running water is increased to a growl.
"What do you do with the water down here? Do you guys drink water?"
Jevas and I are on a road walking. The sky is still completely black, and there is a subtle glow in the distance. Criozesas, I think.
"That's an offshoot of the River Styx. This one's tamer, with fewer dissolved souls in it. Some demon creatures can drink water, some dissolve upon contact with it, some just don't like it an' drink other stuff instead."
"The river Styx? Like in the legends? Don't the souls taint the water?"
"You're in hell, or the...

Cosmic Train Ride
Cosmic Train RIde
“May I have the seat next to you on the cosmic train? You look like a sane person and I could use some sane conversation in my state of mystic madness,” I say.
She replies, “Shall we pray to the cosmic Godhead for our safe and happy passage through time and space, all the time.”
My answer, “I wish you bountiful orgasmic bliss and sensual abandon and transcendent states of total liberation from the Karmic wheel.”
She grabs my hand between hers and laughs. “Your sexual vibes are a bit touchy-feely for us being strangers but most...

Repossession Thwarted
Repossession Thwarted
My goal in life was to make people happy. But my job repossessing cars robbed the owners of their pride and joy. I remember when the tow truck drove up a lady was in tears. She said, “Sir, please give me a chance to catch up on my notes. This is my only way to get to work.”
“Ma’am you’ve defaulted on your loan. I’m just doing my job. Please exit the vehicle. You holing up with the key in the ignition won’t make things better.”
She replied, “Let me drive off and tell your boss you couldn’t find me.”

Seatbelts Twisting
I took a turn and got myself lost off a dead end
The brakes gave out
Jammed all at once
We're hittin 30 miles and cruising
I find pot holes
So damn many,
Breaks in the asphalt
Junk and litter lie around
They shutter as I pass crusing at 45
Rerouting
Rerouting
We're approaching a steep decline
We still have a few miles
Keep coasting.. I see it
Don't take me back there
My head feels like fog lights
I can't breathe there
...

A Flamingo Lives In Mendocino
(a tribute to artist Larry Fuente)
Look now the car parades are coming back,
The air of carnival there is no lack!
Music plays Purple People-Eater song,
As all the while I stroll the whole day long.
With ev’ry single inch of auto space,
Reminders of the sixties’ lunar race.
And fifties too, the flying saucer age,
Now Robby Robot minis’ all the rage.
With kewpie dolls & pixies with their thatch,
Their cutesy faces make a perfect catch.

Old timer
I remember a time in my life after I came back from overseas and my marriage was over and on this day I was walking trying to fix my head and an old guy pulled up and he asked me did I need a lift,
I said ok even though I was not really going anywhere, so as he drove up the road he said to me the reason I pulled up and asked you would you like a lift you looked like you are confused and lost and the closer I got to you I could see you looked really sad,
He asked me was alright and what was happing in my life to make me this sad I told him my story and he listened then he told me his...

Heiskell revisited
Silver lining gates
broad
swing wide open after checking the mailbox
animal tracks in the dirt's dust
right
a lush emerald hollow cove
you could sit staring at stars in the night
revel in for hours at gods handy work
if there was one
they would of made it
trapped
in the muddy holes being built
taller than me at age three
mom had to come pull me out
left
there's a long winding grey gravel driveway
circles and loops around black tire swings ...

There's still killers on the road Jim
Emerald glass cities
crashing
thrashing
tumbling
all the way down Humpty
they sent all the Kings horses and men
b-52 bombers fly overhead
witches on broomsticks
Erbil
where men wear
green windowpane blazers
grow gentlemen clubs
the tasteful kind
Echo
this is Blue leader
Tango
Alpha
Kilo
November
Sierra
enemy armor affirmative
fire at will
water to throw
melt...

Well burn down all the houses but save the ivory salt shakers! you can tip, tip, tippy toe all you want but your darling adopted cousin tied to the rusty radiator in the basement is not going to go away.paddling down the mashed potato and brown gravy mountain steps of teenage years into endless video games only gets you so far with being the cool kid.vodka in mason jars catch up quick.
you hit your head at the top of the crappy stairs again didn’t you? our septic line broke in the neighbors yard, so use the bathroom before we hit the road with that welding pedophile again to the...
