Rolling Tide Retread

a Godzilla versus Ecclesiastes kind of a day
                              phantom tears in the
              mirror-image eucalyptus
                                                gravel in the tequila for

Iron Man, Ahab, John Donne,
Mustang Sally, &c
                              ―a Tarzan meets Predator situation
with a four barrel carburetor,
              flowmaster, dual glas-paks,
the left hand of God,
                              & a bent moon

There are lights on the pier the
              exact color of a 40 oz bottle of pacific steel

These are the days of magic fire-wheel-type
indifference,
                              shaped like a sealion cigarette
              set against an apple-red sunburned horizon
                                                you can trip & fall over
                                                                if you’re not careful
