Finally, she thought, I can get some help! She reached into her pocket and felt for coins to use the phone. Her blood soaked fingers slid into the cloth to feel nothing. I’ll just dial 911 she thought again, or was it 999 here? I’ll try both. Surely someone would answer. As her other hand tightened her grip on Joe’s collar, she was exhausted because hauling him from the accident had been grueling. A vacation trip that should have been pleasant countryside fun was now a nightmare. Joe tried to speak as blood was drying around his lips and words came out garbled. Something like “put me down” he tried to say. She would never leave him and even though she could see buildings a ways ahead, didn’t know if she could make it even to the phone booth. She sat down by him and wiped more blood from the gaping wound in his chest. Her entire clothing was now soaked from when she first tried to carry him from the car. Now she had to summon more strength and reach the red booth. She dialed 999 and it answered. “I need an ambulance, I think my husband may be dying! Yes, a car ran us off the road and he’s badly injured!”

The thin person in the front of the line wedged through the open cave entrance and Joe and I were about tenth in line. It would be an incredible thrill to actually stand under the beautiful stalactites we had seen in the latest copy of National Geographic. Realizing how small the entrance was, I told Joe we better not try to go in that way. There was an exit to the cave we could go into further along the trail. Joe was insulted I intimated he was fat, and when our turn came to enter, he tried to push through. Embarrassingly he was now stuck. We held up the other now disgruntled tour members and waited for the firefighters to extricate Joe.

Time travel to the past

Or a future that may not last

I’m not sure of what I’d choose

Present is what I don’t want to lose

To visit someone I have lost

What would be my heart’s cost

No need to fiddle, cause a jam

I think I’ll stay right where I am

Memories for me are sufficient

Challenging time is too significant

The dials are wonky at the least

Time might be a scary beast

The past is gone, forever so

The future is where I hope to go.

I don’t know how they got together,
the union rather odd,
however it occurred, the result is me, a mixed up bod!
My legs are spindly, but my girth they do support
and as far as other features, look at what I’ve got…
stripes of black and white decorate my derrière
and my delicate black shoes are barely there.
I have a set of ears and I can hear quite well, but what use are those horns?
If you know, please do tell.
My neck is regular length and I miss my father’s long one,
it would be easier to get untouched goodies atop the tall tree zones.

November Poetry Challenge

There was a time not long ago when I was happy, but those days were over. I think it was November 2016. Ah yes, that fateful day which half the world lost its mind and selected a new president. The rest of the story too sad to write.
