Lucky charms
in the dark
swim about
the bones
like cockelshell
fleshed out
in moon milk
skin
and sown with
down

Gritty grins
on shadow
frames
vaulted like
window dressed
spectacular
jouncing on
the leather
clipper speedship
corner overtaken
chrome gloss
careen
behind wide angle
windscreen

in the heavens
race
a tint moon
glaze streams
behind channel
clouds
dark limbed
harrasments

cylinders horse
kicks fluid flash
send living
beacon to
dashboard
dialed glass

legs in jean
blue denim
mix stretch
boot fit
shift synchronous
charade
she smiles
chesire
rose red
freckle dusted
crossing
trolley track
the orbits of
sterling
on darling
arm
wink
and clink

in the dust
the brake
touched
dual tailights
wink

long haul buses are cool monsters
only took one cross country trip...philly to phoenix
met some women, hung out for the duration
more fun than I ,or anyone would have imagined
but the ride has to end someplace.

this piece is hard core pornetry...sliding and writhing around, eye catching in every limber line, taunting one to mount the monster and RIDE til doomsday, or the day after!

that's my take,
laugh if you like, but I like what I got from this.
memory, kick started, and purring

later man,

Al

could drive standard...handle a motorcross
fire handguns
my standard was always the same
Great eyes..classic form of beauty
and immense intelligent
they were all in charge of their bodies
but should one create life
then it ..(my opinion) was that
more is better...

I would take my dads cars...even the
one he bought for us..a two door
mustang two ..seventy five model
a nice little sports car...I would let
then the date drive it..
her family had a western nineteen
seventy two chrysler newport hard
top...that was fun..drive ins were
more comfortable
I like the use of "pornetry" makes
me smile..

thank U!

On a speed rush, man out of his time sliding around corners with a hot girl, in his Cooper or Vanwall...the best racing driver who never won the world championship, a daredevil, a philanderer, a raconteur - poetry in motion, or purposefully strident motion as poetry, wow.. look him up. Poems should be written the way he drove, or perhaps we should drive the way this was written ;) - very cool, enjoyed Esker

Cheers.

friends had a sixty nine mini cooper and that thing could smoke the tyres
they had a vintage maserati too and an english kit car Bentley convertible
Sterling Moss I never heard of....but we watched vintage daytona races as
a kid..sixties and early seventies on the telly at the cottage! my step dads
friend raced side car motorcycles and they both used to watch Pinecrest
dirt track speedway in toronto...vintage track! years later a friend and I
were building a porch on a flip property...(she was business admin and later
was supervisor and is in local town where he lives building federal million
dollar contracts) the neighbour was cleaning up his garage..row houses
built twenties..small front yard...tree lined street ..And he pushed out his
old early too mid fifties racer....from wherelse but Pinecrest! a fantastic
beast of a car with spoiler on rooftop....the old flathead souped up motor!
a great afternoon checking out that car...and another friend I helped work
on his mid seventies ducati racer..(mint condition) we would spend the
mornings at his and his wifes house listening to the bike races on Isle
of Man cranked on the stereo! yes I have had some fun times as a youth!
car culture! and the softer intelligent side of the driven female influence!

will have too look up Sterling Moss!

thank U
