13,200. NEW MOTOR HOME VELOCITY

NEW MOTOR HOME VELOCITY
(amerika once more)

Time ain't nothing but your sons and

daughters, going to school to stoke the

fuel, encompassing all the passion of 

fire. Detroit was left behind in the ash

heap where barrel-monsters dwell.

-

F. Scott Fitzgerald's eye-glass doctor,

the barren sign over Empire cities, the

1928 Ford tipped on its side : A grumble

from the man next  door  -  they're all

together in this one now. I've got the

only wives that matter locked in store.

-

Profligate malfeasor, that's me. Phone 

lines stuck into empty heads. Dim lights

along the power companies road-lines,

blue-lit country homes lit by TV banners,

words of prey, bedside manners. 

-

The new motor home velocity is sleek.

Chimney Swifts dive and dip. The

bold one now will later be meek.
