Some came to satisfy their queer attraction
to be close to something dead
that draws such loud attention.
Gathered in black with white handkerchiefs
no flashbulbs strobed, but for the blink of old eyes,




beneath the same sun, not yet tired
of shining on these strange parades.




Later they will claim they saw him in Chicago.
McDonald's seems a likely place for a Pink Cadillac.
I'm going to Graceland, where they can call me Al.
I'll bring my Kodachrome and a pocket full of drums.




There are strange sounds in silence,
no king could ever quite explain.

Hey, Cub4ucme. Welcome to the PDC.

Just wondering if you happened to miss the introductory thread to the forum, which explains how the PDC works--the one subtly titled Welcome, Poets and Critics. READ THIS FIRST!.

You might want to check out points three and four.

Best,
tz

No problem!

I did read the beginning and have participated in commenting.

I'm not interested in the process now that I read further.

I do appreciate you transporting the poem and I apoligize
for jumping the gun.


Much Thanks,
andy
