Poem-A-Day #342 : A Thin White Line

A Thin White Line

Line of white
heated
bullet tear-drop thing

Carrying so many people

Ark

A joke
about chemtrails

Who
is going today
and where

Poem-A-Day #28 : T. M. I.

T. M. I.

Airplanes bank & whorl over the cooling towers
                    four of them          two spreading their foaming mists
          The other two -

                                                  What happens when
two reporters film a meltdown

                                                  Is it viral

          The reporters also melt          into 11 tons of elephant
ashen & wrapped in a sarcophagus of concrete
they puff like mushrooms -

                                        The planes          a line of them
a Muybridge progression          frozen
                                                              with no feet on the ground

                                                  The funnels pull in - hungry mouths lined with eyes

                              They stomp along the island -

I've discovered a snag in my word of the day.

The e-mail with the days word arrived at 8:30PM in my inbox.

I am at work Sunday nights until after midnight.

SO

Monday will have 2 poems. One early, one late.

Mira (Francis Drake completes his trip around the world 1580) 9/26

The Concorde landed in Texas today
493 years to the day
that Francis Drake completed his
3-year trip around the world

And what monsters were found
at such high altitudes
floating belly up like otters among clouds

That night we were looking at the stars
and just below Pisces you pointed
the sea monster Cetus with its star Mira
demanding us to look

There is the beast that swallowed Jonas

The hunger of deep space must be gigantic

We will keep our noses down to avoid our fate
