CRACKERJACK CANYONS

My true nature plays to not with...the real world on my plate...framed by the rippling waters...she straddled on flamboyant feet...first slipping before taking her stand...on stones she formed a human arch...beneath a handsomely jagged peak...french kissing the pathos found in a passing sky...above the bright mind of a sweet heart

...how romantic the rails...when your presence made the trails all the prettier...I felt like a library book...you never tired of checking out...my hard binding no match for your soft lining...like a lyrical loch nessie...she emerged from the country lake...looking less like an upset ogre...than a mermaid on the make...with thighs...men's eyes...die for

...in the pristine brook bubbling cool crooked and swift...along lozenger rocks lodged between the daydream pebbles...and the semi-magic throne...of a rustic covered bridge...seeming in its streaming...to connect that pleasant scene...to a river bound theme...all aglow in dappling shadows upon a mother and child...in happy homage to the sun set table...among the golden folding flowers...a distant girl dances in the grass...her discarded panties my fragrant bouquet...for a heaven grazing after the rebellion...against a remembering of there and then

...when nothing was the matter with the stars we couldn't see...from crackerjack canyons...no mending the mess...of puzzles in pieces...in a good life gone bad back to a life never fair...we die alone...life is a loan...gained not a given...drained after driven.
