Digging through the boxes

My much loved spousal entity J. is at work the 18th and 19th, and I won't see him until tomorrow (today) evening. So I was killing time digging through the Big Box of Writing Fragments... this is sort of a box of doom where all the poetry and orphaned writing starts that didn't make it into composition books go to settle like foliage on a forest floor.

The many filled and abandoned writing composition books lay scattered over them like fallen trees (to stretch the metaphor).

And I found a poem I worked on last year, which was actually a continuation of a poem I did several drafts of in 2001... this particular draft I'm pleased with.

The opening line especially...
"Falling in love on the Coyote Speedway"

it's a poem about Looney Tunes cartoons and physics and emotions. And that makes me happy.
