A Flash in the Pan

Gary Edward Geraci

A corpulent man in a Porsche with a thinner, younger woman standing outside the rear passenger door; waiting while he vacuums its interior.

 

The church secretary receives a shipment of red wine and round wheat hosts with just her signature - chasing off skateboarders riding the rails past the Virgin Mary. 

 

An adolescent teen discovers that he can indeed tame the wild, cruel streak imposing itself at the most inconvenient of times.

 

Cold water from a Yeti drink canister tastes good while “Big Band Swing Sunday” plays in the background...

 

A giant white Great Egret lands on a log in the muddy river water and patiently waits for a minnow; a flash in the pan.

    With the second one - ooh, I know, can't have vagrants cluttering up the church, or making the place look untidy. See them off!
    Yet a serious side, in that some may be dangerous or look suspicious. Mind that church silver, they might nick it!

    Yes ... with this style, they (the stanzas) are all written to be purposely disconnected. Thanks for your read “O”.
