Cranberry Juice Poem, by Audite Degenerem, at My poetic side

Been a long time since you looked in

The Fog like grip

And lucid resonance

Of a million shooting stars

That fastball in the back

A Tyson punch

Illegally

Which one?

Choose

I wanna use the Pikey

In his prime?

Myself

Me!

My prime!

To effectively

And pro-actively

Remonstrate

This self-punch

And wouldn't you have it?

My Quack's gone fishing

In a while crocodile

So meanwhile

I must administrate

My vaccinium

Covid related?

Now here you go again

Propelled on minute wheels

Potato cropper

An Olympic torch of atomised sea

My crystal vision of red exemption

And nature's smile

For some brief relief

A sexy beast

The guy you can't hit

(Almost)

That...

And lay off the pop

Just once

In a bit

Comment from author about the poem: Some references: 'The Fog' have a song with the lyrics -"been a long time since you looked into my eyes". There are/were two big Tyson boxers in history. Tyson Fury is from traveller - 'pikey' (slang) roots. The 'pikey' line is from the movie 'Snatch' by Guy Ritchie. Tyson Fury once punched himself in the face very hard (accidentally) in the ring. The self-punch a reference to overindulgence, yet the character even protests it himself. The Doctor (quack) isn't available, so the character decides to drink some cranberry juice (from the vaccinium genus), which has nothing to do with vaccines. Nathan Apodaca from Idaho (potatoes) - is the viral video guy drinking Ocean Spray whilst riding a skateboard - along with Fleetwood Mac music - some lines from 'Dreams' are used. The olympic torch is a reference to the bottle. Atomised - spray. Sea - Ocean. The movie 'The Departed' by Martin Scorsese, has a cranberry juice scene, "almost a guy you can't hit", is a line used by Ray Winston (who starred in Sexy Beast) in the scene.
