PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Were you also there, on I-Seventy,

K-Bone, at dusk that November twenty-third?---

my father's car, always brand new (even new tread,

all the time, and, once in a while, temporarily detoured).

From the somewhat hostile University,

and the homophobic bombast of the dorm,

I was, through fussy parental agency,

escaping to five weeks and five days at home---

like an extended holiday, this first vacation

from college.  I clutched the pages of a poem

too crude to ever be called Poetry

Our handles, or screen-names, asshare the same form,

as the great Highway, met in this sonnet's evocation,

and Starwatcher has evolved to Starward*Led.
