red star heat ‘n’ beat

hooked to a nine thirty-two,

she’ll light the far shore

i just got back from hawaii

~

jangled nerves soothed

urges

satisfied

tickled fancies

~

garage door broke

overdue bills

traffic jammed

~

bicycle stolen

alarms sounded

cut my pay

kangaroo courted

~

falling leaves

roaming dogs

out of time

my back is sore

~

having

a great time

wish you were here

anyway

i find it hard to believe

i just got back from hawaii

ninety nine winds blew down the trees

only two were needed

only one was cold

seventy two virgins remained on hold

everyone was afraid of the

sound

suddenly I felt an

urge to

lighten

my

all too heavy load as I slowly drifted

northward
