A Ride to Mars

party during school hours

A Ride to Mars

There were nods that should have come from bigger men. Boys, teenage replicas of early man, adventure in the bowel of an itch, skipping school, a rocket ship to Mars, idle chatter from minds yet to unfold, gather round their mischievous camaraderie, aiming for a bottle to booze.
Sixteen, seventeen, under age, their morning lips wet from a NY deal.

A clumsy stroll here, stupor over Mars red planet, some fell before the noon bell sounded. Here in a drunk, smiles over highways, at last, we are all waddling ducks.

Hello everybody!

That line, some fell before the noon bell, was about me. Singapore Slings haunted my head at Ray's Deer Park, two guys helped me out.
