This week's words:

Garbage; Imperative; Traction.

Seeking My Own Level

My propensity
is to huddle up among
the core denizens
of the garbage heap.
It's imperative on me,
as if I could not
get traction or else
I would fall into some pit
full of eels and snakes
and the lost boy thirst
near me is better than that,
better than nothing.

The Lost Boys is a 1987 American teen horror film starring Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman, Dianne Wiest, Edward Herrmann, Alex Winter, Jamison Newlander, and Barnard Hughes.

The film is about two Arizona brothers who move to California and end up fighting a gang of teenage vampires. The title is a reference to the Lost Boys in J. M. Barrie's stories about Peter Pan and Neverland.

The film was followed by two sequels, Lost Boys: The Tribe and Lost Boys: The Thirst.
