RKS Poetry Anthology (All We Get Are The Coffee Grinds): “Mama Bravo Strikes Again”

Mama Bravo Strikes Again

(You know that lady on the can of tomatoes)

Laughing gaily they take their seats

Out of the hostile freeze into the cheap wine and sun of Spain

Spanair #612 hurtles down the runway eager passengers await free bar service

But!

LURCH CRACKLE SNAP AND POP

Like Steel Rice Krispies

No time for a scream

What’s left of the bodies

Lies steaming on the runway

And looks like stewed tomatoes dropped from the Empire State Building

On a cold winter day
