Anybody Reading This I Need To Borrow A Winnebago
By Colin James
My mother-in-law, Dorothy,
bless her ninety two year old heart,
has been self quarantining
for the past four months
on the west coast of Florida.
I would escort her willy nilly
up here to Massachusetts
by the most efficient
philanthropically felicitous route,
with a couple of overnights
in a Walmart parking lot.
The old Wilson Pickett hit,
Land Of A Thousand Dances,
will have taken up much of our discourse
as we approach Pennsylvania,
amid the aromatic scent of covered bridges
too close now to blame on algae,
or the I knew him when he was famous
speedo previously worn by Bonita Bob.
Bio: Colin James has several chapbooks of poems, Dreams Of The Really Annoying from Writers Knight Press and A Thoroughness Not Deprived Of Absurdity from Pisces’s Porch Press and book of poems, Resisting Probability, from Sagging Meniscus Press. He lives in Massachusetts.
