Poems

or Colonel Tom Parker

14JAN26

keeping Elvis out of sight

take a pic of bigfoot there
a blur is all you've got
does bigfoot share
he prefers to not

as a host
he's really not that good
he's more like a ghost
in his own neighborhood

but at being a topic
staying in the conversation
he's like the tropics
for staying on vacation

managing his fame
casting a spell
it is a game
he does well

is he interdimensional
on the loose
is his fame intentional
seems more of a recluse

always strange news
long stares lingering tales
like Howard Hughes
long hair and finger nails

he keeps us in cuffs
tantalizes our brains
exposing just enough
to keep us entertained

like Bob Barker
on The Price Is Right
or ColonelTom Parker
keeping Elvis out of sight

Enjoy your Wednesday.
