I looked behind us
using the brass periscope,
saw the barrier spin
toward atmosphere
and the burn up on descent.
We sit in tandem
in this junk clunker
with its glass wool peeking out
the seams and the squeaks
and groans a constant.
I wonder will we make it,
or go to pieces
on the way back home?
Got to shut the chickens in.
Prolly much too late.

Feels like a reprise. Second time round. Delayed posting is like reliving it again.
ReplyDeleteWell since I have over 20 and presumably growing it is going to happen to you many times.
Delete*swallows spit*
ReplyDeleteIs that like a phrase going around lately...
Delete"what you said/did/showed me made me throw up a little in my mouth"
Just means I'm salivating.
DeleteOkay, why?
DeleteOh... I get it. Maybe.
DeleteAside but I had a sudden craving for KFC today and had one drumstick. It was good.
DeleteI eat KFC but I have to sneak it or wait til the woman of the house is out of town because she gets a little unhinged when I eat "junk food". She is a scratch cook as we call the ones who start from raw materials and truly cook. She gets insulted if you eat poorly, as if you are eating junk to taunt her.
DeleteYou're lucky she feeds you.
DeleteI know. I thank her frequently.
DeleteThat is one fat hen. It is a hen is it?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a hen to me.
DeleteAhh Christopher! I love your collaborations.
ReplyDeleteI am especially fond of what happens between you and me, my friend.
