"arived" poems
not much chance,
completely cut loose from
purpose,
he was a young man
riding a bus
through North Carolina
on the wat to somewhere
and it began to snow
and the bus stopped
at a little cafe
in the hills
and the passengers
entered.
he sat at the counter
with the others,
he ordered and the
food arived.
the meal was
particularly
good
and the
coffee.
the waitress was
unlike the women
he had
known.
she was unaffected,
there was a natural
humor which came
from her.
the fry cook said
crazy things.
the dishwasher.
in back,
laughed, a good
clean
pleasant
laugh.
the young man watched
the snow through the
windows.
he wanted to stay
in that cafe
forever.
the curious feeling
swam through him
that everything
was
beautiful
there,
that it would always
stay beautiful
there.
then the bus driver
told the passengers
that it was time
to board.
the young man
thought, I'll just sit
here, I'll just stay
here.
but then
he rose and followed
the others into the
bus.
he found his seat
and looked at the cafe
through the bus
window.
then the bus moved
off, down a curve,
downward, out of
the hills.
the young man
looked straight
foreward.
he heard the other
passengers
speaking
of other things,
or they were
reading
or
attempting to
sleep.
they had not
noticed
the
magic.
the young man
put his head to
one side,
closed his
eyes,
pretended to
sleep.
there was nothing
else to do-
just to listen to the
sound of the
engine,
the sound of the
tires
in the
snow.

Simic almost starved to death waiting for the
man who told him "our goose is cooked".
I folded my napkin in preporation. And
remembered what my grandma told me:
"We never starved in belfast".
But now everyones arived in one piece.
Hoping their goose was cooked.
We waited and waited. Two more
guests sat down. One said " Is our goose
cooked yet"? No not yet!
Finally a fed up patron
arose from his seat.
He had to of been eighty nine.
Listen he yelled:
Have fun!
Do what ever needs to be done.
Before all of your geese are cooked!
***** waiting for it.
Theres nothing we can do to change the circumstance.
Believe me Im getting the first serving, I can already smell
the aroma.

I stroll nonchalantly down eerie roads to see where they take me
I walk awaiting to reveal the mystery
There's rumors of a list land forgotten by society
Just listen for them, there's a variety
Every day I wonder
Dream about it in my slumber
Will if ever find it?
I dream of a land
I dream to try and understand
But it seems impossible
So I walk continuously searching
Tracing back my dreams step by step trying to remember
Where it's hidden is clever but I'm close
I can feel it in my toes
Its pulling me closer
Everything fades away like tunnel vision as I step
Walking in pitch black with so since of direction
And there it is
The list dreamland of Ayoura
Exactly as imagined
Diamond paved roads and emerald homes
This place has anything and everything you can ask for
I've finally arived
I'm finally home

it was 63 when a man said i have a dream
there for that day peoplo walked away with in there head somthin is going to change
we all said were going to get the man on the moon and loved a man that got them there
a man woke time for work in his wallet he he had a 20 that he would never spend
the pain to get dressed was unreal that no one else could feel
he went to the table to eat there was his son and daughter
little jon jon was what he called his son daddy can i go with no son bet you can come to the airport to wave us goodbye so he ran to his room to get dressed so there they were so father and mother waiting for it to land as they all held hands
they jumped it to choper as they were called
they flew to andrews promising to son and sis that they would be back
they landed in pink and blue the cheered for the wife as the husband had strife
many hands just to many to count all reached for camolot
they jumped in the car they dint have far he said a speech and once again hand were at reach
on the path many peoplo did line to see the man who said i know i can
the car did slow for the peoplo did flow
you cant say they dont love you here a women did show
bam bam bam was the sound that was herd as peoplo fell to the dirt
they took off very fast for the man may not last
they arived at a place called parkland and they did no waist to get the man in blue and the women in pink and the dreded red that was added to pink and blue
peoplo wept as they saw the women and man oh oh oh so much red
the man was dead when a hour did pass oh why could he not last
the women in pink and again so much red it was a flash as the women put her children to bed as the man they loved was dead for camolot you will never see again
for the man who had a dream in 63 would never see the relalty but the hill he spoke of the man in blue would see and see and see for all the corwards did flee
