Ghosts

Of Saline route

and Borax muleteams 

In a caldera 

With a chiclacxoob

leader

They were divided

and lost their way

Two made it back to La Cista

And dined with Rachel

The others never showed

 Glory bee

to summer dresses

Pollyanna McCargille 

Was an Irish penured washing girl

Broke her back

On an Egyptian mare

But recovered 

and sang

For the Queen

 Etruscan Peruvians

swaying on the aft deck

Breathing Time

Like swallows on Mars

  They're playing the stock markets

  but the Etruscan bulls

  are stamping

  Kerfloofing 

The bridge is out 

and the conductor is drunk

 Life 

Ain't hard 

It's easy peasy

No cares 

No worries 

Wrapped up with a purple ribbon

 

 

 

 Scurried

down bandangke st

Past the drilling in the wall bar

Moved across

But he turned their heads

Face down

By the stairs 

Until Arrow said that's not it 

But who knows?

We all have our own path-

Some questions you just can't answer

and some you can

 

 

 Glue held me together

Elmers wood glue

Or two part epoxy

Rubber cement

Model cars and airplanes

Tanks 

With glue

Customized with cases of whiskey

Bedrolls 

Dents and mud

World War II 

held me together
