March Flying Carpet 2019

In March The Flying Carpet
galloped into the movie set of 
Tucson, Arizona.
In Truth or Consequences, 
the woman says,
“You from around here?”
I say, “No”
She says, “Well, you're arty enough!”
 
The Tae Kwon Do dragon/
ledger horses window
proves her right
 
In Tucson the air crackles crystal
and geometry 
flaunts its spines and prickles
 
succulent blossoms 
gradate like sundown
and desert sea anemones 
gobble the cumulus
with liberty and cactus for all 
On the road again
heading into Hatch, New Mexico
the locals come out to greet us
 
Bearing giant burgers
and intense nostalgia
and bizarre 
hodgepodge collage barrage
at Sparky's
 
Special thanks to Bob, Laurel, and Janet
