6363. THUMBNAIL SKETCH

THUMBNAIL SKETCH
My friend Aleck has a middle name of 'No' ;
the guy I drive cross-country with, he's an 
ex-con from from Topeka. We're leaving
from Brooklyn now and have nowhere else
to go. He's had the TV on for two hours :
Morning Joe and Larry King.
-
It'll take us five hours to get to Canton, PA.
There we'll stop for coffee. He'll eat; I won't.
There's very little else to do, endless driving
and all. Tress and hills race by the window.
-
We left from the old Brooklyn Navy Yard.
It's not that now, just a bunch of artisan types,
making mugs and pottery, small paintings
and jewelry; teas and coffee, sold and stacked.
