Shoot 'Em 'Fore He Runs Now

Psssssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..................
Gone
A little light particle on two legs
Tearing like holy hell and burning rubber and leaving the soles of his Nikes

Gasping for air

What's that?
they just screamed something
Sounded like

"Ruuuuuuuunnnnnnnn"

you see
some things have a distinct sound
the mighty crack of a homerun
the air splitting whistle of your mother
but those are somewhat pleasant sounds
the sound that has inspired this maniacal terror
is the arch enemy of the adrenal gland
it will cause instantaneous emptying of the bowels
and produce quarts of sweat
what is it
the grim sound of a 12 gauge-pump action-

Delivery Man - Playing on Poe

Once upon a summer night, while we watched
A Mike Tyson fight,
Over many a loud and raucous cheers
from alcohol consumption-
While Tyson was sent a rocking, suddenly there
came a knocking.
As of someone violently knocking, knocking at my
patio door.
Tis some visitor, I muttered, knocking at my
patio door-
Only this and nothing more.

Presently my hearing grew stronger; hesitating then
no longer,
Sir, said I, or Madam, truly your forgiveness
I implore,
But the fact is Tyson was rocking, and so eagerly you
came knocking,
And so loudly you came knocking, knocking at my
chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard

What We Are About to Receive

Things are covered in dust
The Workingman's Blues have hit like a steam engine
And backs are breaking under the pressure of an indifferent world
It's these simple things that keep the motor running
These fleeting joys
It's a factory desperation that triumphs over the spirits of hundreds of
honest men
And what is an honest man?
What of his family?
What of the glory and honor of perseverance?
Millions turn out the lights when they go to bed
And someone still blows out the candles before they turn in
A good night's rest is a figment of the imagination
And that's what we're getting to
A man's blood in the soil he tills
A man's raz

The Burden and The Glow

Silent walking the way of
The enraptured
In the barren dunes of Arabia
Carrying the burden and the glow
Of a searchlight soul

A broken animal dazzled by
Eternity's perfume
trusting in darkness as the window of a universe
Not the poisoned growl
Of a rotting flower

Silent walking the way of
The enraptured
In the barren dunes of Arabia
Toward Jerusalem
And a feast for a thousand hungry ghosts

Merely memories or burning embers losing their heat?

Silent walking the way of
The enraptured
In the barren dunes of Arabia
To Damascus - ancient city
Of a pilgrim trail

Prayers to be said

Seedy Underbelly

We want the goods
Who knows, blows who- who's got the pull
The size
The habit
The appetite
We the vigorous vultures of verisimilitude
We feed off the luridly authentic- it makes us feel alive
Distance our disillusionment

We want our demigods divinely dipped and delivered defiled

Ava Gardner's murky memoirs of miscegenation
We want Rita Hayworth and Rock Hudson

Not all aircraft are jets, obviously. This particular flight deck crewman is helping to direct the prop-driven aircraft we have on board. Don't worry folks, that scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark was not what happened next.

They can have their wings folded with engines running? Is that like a hydraulic system that runs the wings being folded? Great shot.

Neat shot...looks like an SE-2. Had a couple friends back in college that flew them. Created a bit of an international incident by wrapping their sonar cable around the bridge of a Russian "trawler" that was shadowing the fleet while they were on maneuvers in the Mediterranian during the Viet Nam conflict. LOL. Not to mention that things at that time were a bit dicey between Egypt and Israel, too. I don't remember which carrier they were on at the time as they rotated between land bases and carriers.

Sorry, been away for a bit, but thanks for the comments. They really are appreciated. The Enterprise has been around for quite some time now. She was on the scene during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, hell you name it, she was probably there.

*patrx May 29, 2005

Yup...and I even had a model of it...

Those were nervous times back during the Cuban Crisis. I remember my uncle being prevented from retiring from the air force.

~seafaringgypsy Jun 1, 2005

I think I had a model of it too, come to think of it.

The missile crisis must have been pretty surreal to experience. I get a kick out of the rush to buy fallout shelters.

*patrx Jun 1, 2005

LOL There were a lot of holes dug in backyards about that time....

I remember the old Science Mechanics magazine or maybe it was Mechanics Illustrated back then even had plans available for building your own shelters...or even using building them in a corner of one's basement and air filters to block the 'radioactive' fallout infiltrating the shelter.

Come to think of it, I even had a model of the "Washington" nuclear submarine that sported the Polaris missiles. It's interesting to watch the history channel nowdays recapping the happenings back then.
