late afternoon, and in the rear-view

		<description><![CDATA[My form is dismally narrative
The similies  &#8211; too comparative
Ideas vague and unrelated
Ponderous and overstated.
One gerund puts him in a snit -
Two, violent apoplectic fit.
He fails to understand, to me,
Things happen more continually.
No joy in creativity
My professor hates my poetry.
Though I confess I&#8217;m not averse
To crafting a more lyric verse
I have no talent to distill

thrumming eternal neon twilight,
their metallic encasement gleamed
like the collective alien glow of dormant pods
awaiting a subsonic signal of eonically timed resuscitation.
A sleep-deprivation induced wanderlust
yielded this cache in the perfect oubliette,

Walled behind boxes of used punch cards

happened in the first person, 
so I was intimately familiar
with the vastness of space. 
There was a scribble
on the wall by my bed.
To me, it depicted a see-saw
unoccupied
balanced on a fulcrum
with a wiggly horizon
below only one seat.
When familiar maternal shrieks
shattered sleep&#8217;s escape
first I placed myself
on the left-hand seat,

a firey car crash,
a stuttering cardio monitor,
lethal invective.
Premonition

natural unintentional disaster or
to suggest remedy in
unnatural intentional intervention.
No matter,
the trick is to extend the middle,
explore the exposition exponentially.
Take the back roads.
Pull off at every scenic overlook

take a nap,
eat a sandwich.
