she’s planning whenshe should forfeit this particular ghost
broken lines on the upper hand
and spooky Tarot card readings
trump binary logic
and PhD machinations
any day (now)
Casper put aside
she resigns herself to country music
and condescending stares from behind the pearls
See you on the flipside,
I’ve got a moon to shoot.

I’ve been having fun juxtaposing music against my words lately. I was going to place The Creatures’ “Strolling Wolf” against this little vignette, but I couldn’t find it on YouTube and was too lazy to find another way to post it. I encourage any who might read this to go and find “Strolling Wolf,” and any other song by The Creatures from their Boomerang album, because I find them to be fabulous. If you should listen to the song as a backdrop while reading my poem, well, thanks for playing. - alt
