I think I got lucky but not like I was struck by lightning or anything. While I was driving down the spotted ice leopard highway to Calgary I was visited by the ghosts of Kenneth Patchen and Lew Welch.
They said in their hurdy gurdy unison,
"son we'll slap these onto you like a bumper sticker onto your spectra-red 1981 Chevy G20."
"We'll rub poetry into thye gums like the snowly dendrites melting under your Highway 22 wheels."
And so a project was born.

Media's Car

who’s driving the media’s smoking car?
flame foot joy-riding through the windshield glass,
the skid marked proof of plying tar
is trepidation steel wound round an Old-World Tree.
its radio blurs the bureaucrat promise
of moldy Tesla fruit baskets in urban decay,
the glovebox gun of carbureted awmous
suffocates those who get in its way.
its engine is faulty, pistons pump
SoCal serum into youth’s sordid veins,
16 year old’s driving Ferraris to the dump
is one way to lick a battery’s drain.
it slashed its wailing wheels, locked its own damned doors
while starter, spark plug and smoke scintillate around,
journalist mechanics forget your chores
there’s always room for another ass clown.
now who’s driving the media’s broken car?
Procter-pissing-Gamble gambling away their time?
Your sunset drive awaits, smell the candied char
Rise Up Now! Shovel Sugar In Your Tank!
