Li Tian
A Chinese sorcerer
Who stuffed bamboo shoots
With gunpowder
In order to scare off
The evil spirits....
Fireworks were invented
In the seventh century
For ulterior reasons
Not for warfare
Nor to save humanity
As in case of plague
But to get rid of the bad
By a man who might have lost
His entire hand
And then there would
Be no fireworks display
The official welcome
Of many events
Is the over loud
Boom in the sky
Of these entertaining things
So real that they used them
In the Hobbit film
Where everyone is just happy
To have a Wizard drop by
But really where would
We be without the fourth of July
Show at the local park or beach
And now they too have been
Replaced!
By artificial intelligence
Drones
Run by a person
On the ground
Elevate to the sky
Synchronized to form
Patterns of light
Instead of stalking a person
As I was in my youth
Being attacked by a metal
Flying object is not fun.
But these little guys
Go up in the thousands
Just to spin around
And delight with
Thier messages
And images.
Another story about
Jimmy
And yes he has set things on fire
With fireworks
Just not my heart.
There was a ride
I recall so many years ago
That it is just a fog now,
By a beautiful young woman
A car full of kids
All being quiet
Out of fear
Because we had seen
Something unbelievable
He was well known
In those days for scaring
People for real
With his antics
He was supposed to be twelve
But really he was fifteen
Which is what caused
The problem
He was seen driving
Later on he would go through
The Drivers Education
At a local high school
Which he failed
He failed everything
Including driving
What teenage kid fails
Especially the summer
They have announced
A movie is being made in town
And they were hiring extras!
American Graffiti
Who knew what it was going to be
But all the kids were trying
To get into the damn thing
Even the Judds
Got a cameo
And they were from a different county.
Anyways he never passed
Never got a drivers license
Uses my fathers
Which he stole off the counter.
But five years earlier
He was spotted
Occasionally behind the wheel
Who taught him and where
But they were never around
He would be alone and starring
Straight ahead as if he wasn't real
That day we had been out
Christmas things
Got put in a different car
The last minute
When the driver
Who was from a different state
Noticed and recognized him
She had done a number of interviews
He could never leave a pretty thing
Alone, going all googly eyes on her
He just wants to be the man
To sit next to you
The rest of your life.
It is not a term of endearment
He is not being passionate
Nor happy
But furious about something
These girls had something
He wanted
Power through their association
They were married to powerful men
Or something similiar
He did the same thing
With Diana later on
Not that he had not met her
He was not interested in
Just an honorable
But that is another story
Or is it
He dropped her and then
Found out she was going
To marry Charles
The hier to the throne
Would not leave her alone
Even showed up at the hospita
To take the baby for a walk
That was not his but left
Sitting on a bench
Poor redhead has never known
What he could have been
If it was not for his meddling
As I said he had dropped her
Then she married
He forced her into the situation
With his anger until
He caused her to divorce
Her husband whom he would
Have liked to kill
But instead choose her
To die with the paparazzi
Following her around
Deliberately to get her upset
She had gone out of her Christian
Faith for a Muslim
Against jimmies rules
She had to die
What a horrible thing to live
With but Harry is not alone
There were another set of boys
Who only knew
Some crazy kid
Had stolen a tractor
And was chasing them
Throw the lanes
Attempting to kill them
She also had noticed
A number of people
Following her around
Some of them might
Have been journalist
But most of them were
Evil ones who enjoy
Causing misery
She wanted to call her husband
Jimmy had shown up
Before her wedding
For some reason
It might have been
Because her father was rich
But so was his
Or it might have been
To get an enemy in trouble
Anyways this guy wanders
Into the pool area
Just as he was sneaking
Up on her while she lay there
This joe guy comes along
And steals her
The whole enchilada
He goes and marries her
He could not stand that
Tried to stop the wedding
And for what?
All she knew was to tell
Her husband he had been spotted
She had no idea the girl
In the back seat
Was also afraid of him
Had tried to rape her
A few times
And she was only a child
They slide past the stop sign
She was not paying attention
The whole car quiet and moving
In slow motion
There it was coming towards them
A huge semi tractor
They all stared at it
As the car simply pushed
It self forward past it
So close to disaster
Shaking her head
She decided to make a run
For it, instead of playing
Cat and mouse
Putting the car into ahigh gear
She went sailing down
The lanes attempting
To reconnect with the highway
When out of nowhere
Slam!
He had nailed them
A nice chunk out of the drivers
Side and he got a plus
The girl was in the car
He saw her at the last minute
He climbed out of his thing
Went over to make sure
Then he pulled the girl out
Onto the pavement
And cut off her head
With the saw he had with him
He was going to do it
To pretty Neilly
But he had time for one
The other one was there as well
She woke up to see him moving
Checking those around her
She discovered the driver
Was dead and her baby
Was not going to make it
While she told the boys to get out
She crawling over to her sister
To find her dismembered
She sat there trying to hide
It from the boys
They were angry and frightened
They had seen him as well.
So weel known for his meanness.
Hours later they were taken
To a hospital
Where the boys disappearead
Her sister was put into a morgue
And then the man showed up
While this was going on
They reconstructed the seen
She heard them talking about it
Later when they did not know
Everyone assumed that a girl
Had died and therefore she was not known
Her sister and her were raised seperately
Only for holidays were they together
And here now they were laughing
About how the poor kid
Had run into an empty car
They had to flag down
Some dumb guy in a truck
And then relay him
While they pushed the car
In front of his truck
Then Betty A
Hit him on the head
So he would wake up
With this car in front of him
They laughed and laughed
It was all Suzie's doing
As usual she had taken charge
They were protecting their Jimmy
He was an asset in that he could
Go where they could not
That night seemed to be over
In a flash
And yet eternity
As a concussed child
Wondered what was going on
Everything the adults
Said was wrong
They had gotten through
That intersection
But there was no one
To back her up
Those two were too little
And Joe got sworn in anyways
Despite his wife being murdered and all
Jimmies demise not knowing
That would happen
Well he has being following
The family making sure
Those boys never tell the truth
If they can even remember it
While she was given several
Chances with drugs to forget
But she keeps surfacing wondering
Wondering what went wrong
With her parents world.
Things were taken for granted
There would be an end
They thought
But instead he has been
Controlling them
All of them
The day he crawled
Into the back of a CIA van
Running ops in DC
He found a way inside
His threats and designs
His own father threw him
Into mental facilities
The authorities
Convicted and incarcerated him
He just walks out when he is done
He is not done yet
But she sat there in her own car
Having been hit head on
Not ten years ago
With that feeling
She was alive but she knew
It was the end of her world
It took them an hour
To cut her out
She could not feel her legs
But could feel her back
It turns out they pulled
Her out paralyzed from
The waist down
A fractured hip where the door
Had smashed her in trapping
Her against the middle console
While her head and neck
Have never been the same
She knew it was not fate
Nor was it over...
