Wayne F Burke

Robinson Crusoe Theme Park, Destiny, FL


Walking along the Gulf of Amerigo

dreaming of savage gods

coming out of the sea

wearing necklaces of

shrunken heads, and

fish tap-dancing out

beyond foamy cogitations

on whippersnapper waves--

like ill-bred juvies maxed out

of probation and parole--

as tom tom drums beat

like a heart in a-fib.




Eternal Return


the sun comes out under

the carbon copy gray

sheet

of clouds;

it is a new dawning

but

at dusk--

heralding the night of dark

magic

to come, when

the moon takes over

from the sun

which, so

far, has

always returned

in the morning.




Crash


only 12:30 a.m. but

so tired, feeling out of it

can barely hold up 

my

pencil to write

WHAM

the pencil lands like a brick

on the bed--

it is time to turn out the  

lights, Mister.

Give it up.

You are done

for this night.
