What Ails the Incurable Wanderer

 B singular--

(background music for poem: begin with Horse With No Name by America,
the La La parts, then hit shuffle.)



Glorious thrusters hiss through thin air as a red-faced tot

behind, kicks a tizzy-fit on a maiden economy power trip.


Shuttling at capacity, crawling and conducted, destinations

controlled. It’s palpable one, or many, needs a shower trip.


Even keeled, chugging towards the horizon, never acquired,

bundled bald and blue-haired directed activities every hour, trip.


Serving number thirty two, I’m one hundred and one in the que,

a din like gregarious locusts, swarm-in-from-out-of-towners trip.


Looking left, then right. Diana, que of one, in a mod tin Lizzy beast,

chewing breezy byways, destination unknown horsepower trip.


*Ghazal poetry defined.
