New Poem: THE ROAD TO MANKINS

 get in the car with me

 we’ll take Highway 25 from Electra

 past the United Methodist Church 

 past the Memorial Hospital

 going a number of miles

 until we reach the four-way stoplight 

 where I pull to the right and park 

 >

 see the amusement park rides

 all in pieces and sleeping 

 this is where fun goes to hibernate 

 maybe the rides will go to other towns

 or perhaps they’ll be sold for scrap 

 >

 son, get back in the car

 you just learned an important life lesson

 don’t assume things will stay the same
