Double parked
on a parallel highway
Broke down and hazy
on an alternate byway
I called out to God
Odin and Buddha
all i learn’d is
they all are much taller
Parallel parked in an
galactic spacepod
Where mustangs roam freely
if you promise to return
Floating far above any water
drinking only mud and mire
chasing fireflies in ditches
tangled cactus and barbwire
I’ll build up a lost slab
a hut of cow dung and roadkill
i’ll meditate on the lizards
and what for the return signal
Magnolias and hibiscus
it’s was sure nice to meet us
i’ll send live oak telegrams
with greetings from the forge
