Forget all you know or think you know about 21st Century Poetry,
it is not your Great Grandparents Poetry,
it is not your Grandparent's Poetry,
it is not your Parent's Poetry,
it is 21st Century Poetry,
it is your poetry,
an evolution,
revolution
in verse;
see,
21st Century Poets are doing new things,
the old has fallen away.

55/30: Where Are We Going
(Where Have We Been) {1}
Amish and Indians
We're having a lovely time
wish you were here...
Week in Review
ROAD TRIP!
Through eight states
urban, suburban, county, boonies,
mountains and valleys, creeks, brooks, and rivers,
forests and fields, green, brown, tan,
smell of good, hearty, dirt,
farmer toil the soil,
Amish Mennonites feed travelers
modern, gas powered shoppe and kitchen
metal farm machinery horse drawn
compromise with traditions and religion
and survival;
horse drawn buggies, hand sewn garb,
cell phones and Nikes,
delicious baked goods from scratch
make our meanderings...road snacks!
Serpent Mound, Fort Ancient Earthworks
First People's vanished civilization,
arrowheads, axes, knives and pottery shards
all that remain to tell their tale(s);
Lydar, Archaeological Digs, Former Features
surmised by available data and physical features,
Imagination and Knowledge of History, fill blanks.

56/30: Where Are We Going
(Where Have We Been) {2}
Man's Inhumanity to Man
for AJW
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania...
Pennsylvania, Southern Pennsylvania
@ Gettysburg...
Whereas, Fort Ancient People's Earthworks
visits were celebrations of Nature and Man
together in harmony, joy of life,
getting in tune with Mother Earth, Gaia,
and all her creatures and God's Handiwork,
Gettysburg Battlefield Sites
somber stroll in respectful silence
low voices and whispers
reading info plaques outlining movements
pausing to reflect at New England Memorials
to enjoy a peaceful rest in tree shade
reflecting on absolute destruction of war,
townships, farms, fields, humans,
toxic super fund clean-up sites stench
survivors surviving, moving forward,
building a new nation
where ALL are welcome to grow, thrive and succeed.
We remember all those who served and
sacrificed their life, in whole or in parts
and celebrate the victory that changed
the course of the war and world.
- Amen -

57/30: Credit Where Credit is Due
Today, 2025 Nissan Rogue, Rogu,
returns to Enterprise, the only game in town;
comfy, good on gas, AM/FM/SATELLITE Radio,
USB Port for phones, memory stick music,
Navigator GiPS and etceteras;
not a vehicle I'd personally purchase,
lots of little things made it
far inferior to Toyota RAV4,
tho, handling Package was similar,
like a sports car.
The center console too big, high,
so, no highway hand jobs,
too awkward
not pleasurable at all
we tried...
Rogu got us out west and back thru
Mass, Conn, NY, P-A, OH-HI-O, West V-A,
Maryland, NJ and back to Mass
safe and sound.
Radio Ginger, Radio Butcha, memory sticks
providing musical entertainment
COMMERCIAL FREE! NO REPEATS (sort of)!
Thanks God! Gracias Saint Christopher!
We appreciate you, Enterprise Car Rental!
Jesus slept in the back seat all the way...YAY!
Jesus isn't worried, so why should I?
- Amen -
**
58/30: Same but Different
And now, the end is near...
The end of V - A - C - A - T - I - O - N, vacation
back to the grind, the gerbil wheel,
refreshed and recentered
reconnected
ready to smile and dial and make that money!
of goodie.
One week, 5 days, On the Road to Find Out,
Kerouac hitch hiked, was a passenger
buses, trains, drive away vehicles,
Jack never drove or held a driver's license;
21st Century Pote on Poet's Holiday
uses own or fiend's auto or SUV
has a driver's license,
and a credit card,
rents rides for Mad Dog Road Trips
stays in affordable hotel-motel
none of that hobo camp outdoor living
that Jack Kerouac endured, enjoyed...fuck that...
I am a 21st Century Poet
keeping Beat Pote Lifestyle Alive
with modern upgrades and comfort
documenting life in these United States
Poetically.
Thank you 9 Muses, Dionysus, and Saint David
for inspiration, verse, and lingo -
Hallelujah - Amen
**
59/60: Face Front Value
In desperate need of a shave
5 days on the road
hotel shower soap decontamination
deodorization freshen ups
Rogu is too close quarters
for body odor,
Unshaven face...so booch!
Remnants of sticky b-b-q sauce
white gravy, au , and pot roast
specks of assorted food stuffs
tangled in salt and peppah whiskers
refusing to dislodge
ok then...it's the razor for you!
Shower, shave, make the bed,
return the rental, and take the day off,
rest, chillax, review pix, upload onto Google,
reflect, discuss previous 5 days on the road,
write; stop, breathe, listen to music, poke
New Jersey Weed!
Stankasaurous...damn good stuff!
Brought about 4 grams of Mass Reef on trip
still had some left
plus 5 strains of bud
1 for each day On The Road to Find Out.
Feel like myself, fresh faced and clean.
Thank God for modern indoor plumbing and razors!
- Hallelujah - Amen -
**
60/30: VRROOM
Interstate traffic flow, passenger vehicles, buses, sixteen wheelers, whiz along, passing
each other as if playing tag, we get stuck in a pack, pair of gypsy cattle tractor trailers our
companions for a few miles, a game of chase, 2025 Rogue and ramshackle trucks.
As I put the pedal to the metal to pass one last time, I watch the trailer, looking into the
interior through holes in the fence-like sides, discerning cow butts, flanks, ears, and human eyes
peering back out at me...
* THE END *
