When? the ground gives out
From below
And without warning
This RV park.
Sits next to a river.
In California
No one thought of moving.
Forward next a few feet
Instead, the whole thing began.
To tip and then over it went
Straight down and over
Hopefully no one was inside
But the Insurance claim
Is going to be interesting.
You were parked where?
Reminds me of the Huot
Story. It was a hoot
To know these people
One day I was living in a compound
With my mother in her own home
And myself next door
With friends nearby
Nothing could go wrong
Except she caught me talking
To my own husband
Ran off down the highway
I had to follow
Should have allowed her
To be run over
But had just had my father
Die and been tried
Off I went after her
Only to have her surprise me
Not really
She had a needle in her hand
Around a corner
From the rest
She turned around
And jabbed me with it
Wasn't supposed to have it
But there it was in her hand
I sat at the nearest restaurant.
With my brain slowly
Going into a deep sleep
They could not revive me
What she dd in order not
To come through with her promises
She never did keep her word.
At any time
No matter who died.
Nor who got married?
I ended up having to live
With her in a tiny apartment
With others knowing
About my husband
Taking on another woman
Into his life and Jimmy
Running around laughing
Hysterically and tooting his horn
One of his old friends
From Kelseyville
Came forward to help her out
Only to find myself a slave
To her and her husband
Then they brought the ugliest bastard
Standing there completely naked
Thier son had a brain tumor
What was it to me?
My mother began the virgin
Routine meanwhile I was divorced
Without my knowledge
And all he had in his wallet
Was a buck
A single dollar bill.
The Huot's
Were supposed to be
An American military family
From the Germany days
For some reason
I was blamed for the fall
Of the wall in Berlin
All I was the first reporter
On the scene
Nobody remembers me
Because the big guys
Came flying in to take over
But the locals recalled.
I was the one standing there
Saying look
They are climbing over
And removing sections
All those families lost
Thier lives in Germany.
Had to come home to America.
Had no place to go
No riches nor glory
How was that my fault
Nor was it something that everyone gets
Not like the fall of Afghanistan
Only to turn around
And find it bite them in the back
Anyways they kept playing.
With me no matter where I went
I woke up standing in front of a man.
Who said he was a man of peace
He had a gun pressed against
My throat but not for long
He walks with a limp
But the bastard still says
We got married.
I am still a married woman
Or at least I was at that point
In time, then he attempted.
To make me sleep with him
Inside the home
With his parents
Took my purse away from me
Called the cops
But did not get back my life
Amelia said she was a nurse
Worked at the Prison
I needed help
Because her son would not lie to them.
Instead, there was a little
Black girl running around.
Behind them
Now standing in front of me
Is the Amy no one knows about
Small as her grandmother
But as black as her mother
The one the bastard
Did not want to tell his parents.
About but they wanted.
What? To get even with a reporter?
Or a real military family
All I know is my mother.
Suddenly got to have her way
She did things unimaginable.
Made good people not get it
Allowed Jimmy to appear.
To become a government worker
While his professional psychologist
Had a nervous breakdown according to his family.
And now she is thirty years old
Thirty years have gone by
I am not a young model
Good enough to be put on the cover
Of a magazine according to the locals
But crippled and dealing with possible.
Cancerous tumors
A lot of people have died
Or gone to places they did not know
Existed while I have lost my entire life.
She showed up with an infant
He died not in her arms.
But was thrown down
At someone else door
One year old
Baby Huot dead
Then she aborted her six month
Fetus because she wanted to be
Young again and not smart
Short and stupid
Just like her grandmother.
When the ground falls
Out from below
Just as these guys
Who spent twenty years
Reporting Afghanistan
Had nothing to do
And no jobs if they did not find
Something, after fifty years
Of reporting about the Iron curtain
Now we have a glass. one
Just because they need work.
Have to have something.
To do something to report
God hopes.
They know what they are doing
All the way from heaven
Got the phone call
What are you doing down there?
I am no longer part of the crew
Got taken out. by a family
Miserable for their plihght
They actually had to come home
To America and not as heroes.
Sorry, let me find you someone else.
To speak to....
Don't bother.
I will find him myself!
Look out!
Someone out there is going.
To get a one on one
With the higher power
And in the middle of the night.
Poor old Peter
Died of cancer of the throat
I just checked on my thyroid tumor.
Again, make sure it is not bad.
Although my voice is gone.
Watch out!
One never does know.
When the story one is working on
Is going to turn around.
And bite one in the back!
Or those in front area going
To take it out on you
For causing their world
To be destroyed.
Good for Michelle
She deserves acclaim.
Not all Asians are bad people.
Nor African girls not know.
Where they come from
Angela has worked hard.
Even taking on a series
During the down time
Now has a movie under her belt.
Where are we going to go next?
The end is coming.
The Pandemic is about to be.
Over according to the President
Not that people are still dying every day.
But we have other things to do.
Other places to go.
We must all move forward.
Lest the ground underneath us...
