| Sample Poems: Way Back Then by Alan Catlin Source: The Schenectady Chainsaw Massacre (2003), p. 118 He says- 'I used to drink here when I was 16.' Probably, didn't have the road rash scars on his face, arms or hands Nor that knife blade mark bisecting one cheek & deformed chin line The tatoos-maybe- certainly not the Harley Classic parked outside more than likely he was on a Schwinn if he rode bike at all way back then American flag suspenders- no way he'd be caught dead in a farmer's duds Torn jeans- clean muscle shirt- sleeves carefully removed- for sure Pumping iron biceps wrists & neck- absolutely Who was going to tell him- 'Son your money's no good here?' ----------------------------------- Copyright belongs to Alan Catlin. The poem is about a biker. |
