Flying High

hog rise to ridge; eyes cast, I spot,
scene-squeezed, a vision: peepers pop,
I’m sky-high

dressed in sixties mini-dress (props)
fishnet stockings, pink, with high-tops,
her thigh-highs!

long-haired mod-podge fantasy, her
thumb out. my thighs scaffold outcrop,
high-tail it.

chopper-roared, muffler-growled spin-out
rubber gripping melting blacktop;
I’m high-risk

rumbly offered boarding, hog stops.
burned, relieved, she climbs atop
we high-fly
