Sunday Scribbling #104

The link is in the margin. Prompts are much too left-brained for this righty, but I likes the site. Generally speaking, the topic is "Do you believe in life beyond earth?" It reminded me, tangentially of course, about William Sloane Coffin's reversal of the usual-suspect question, "Do you believe in God?" Instead, WSC mused the question, "Does God believe in us?"

Without further ado, I give you:

[Is It Ever]

grassy knolled elvis
hoffa on the box

amelia making pralines at the five and dime

JayCee out the back door
Tooker Gomberg mighta known betta
if he could

Glenn Miller & Saint-Exupéry with their
fiddle-sticks in heaven—
who wouldn’t abduct a ‘bone?

Steely Dan for nearly twenty years:
Eagles, EasyBeats, Erstwhiles
& all the others
on the astral
reunion tours, buses
at the gate

Rosemary Tonks,
Azaria Chamberlain—
All of them in
the chummy lounge.

Blue dog’s out there, no?
Crooning Georgie half to sleep:
We’ve all been known to wander
at least once

or twice

to take a peek.
