Four Artists On Working Holiday
The horizon is lost.
We are simply going.
Parker chatters excidedly
comforting to a dog in a cage.
I sleep
to the smell of movie popcorn and the sounds of winning slot machines.
Waking up to Cole, sick
Needing gingerale.
I’m usually the sick one.
Parker chatters know-it-all-knowingly.
While stopped at customs
I feign ignorance
Yes, I did pack the wine.
Only one bottle
traveling conspicuously with the Glenlivet
As fog shrouds the new land
Acadian radio
Fiddle music like Walter’s
Far away memories infiltrate our ideas of Here
Block Island soundtracks,
Central Vermont towns
French not Irish, A&W.
Parker chatters unknowingly
Devin explains the Bank-Loan crisis for him.
All deciding it best to get groceries once unloaded
Settled in.
They swabbed his wallet for narcotics!
No, the knife isn’t a switchblade.
Parker chatters unendingly.
I start to loose patience
The horizon simply stays away
We all try our best to move in the right directions
With a desire for an unquestioning silence to lead us.
