Good eggs, right side up
duck-walk on the dock
restive natives, active seniors,
beleaguered as
fur on a Wurlitzer,
vault from piers

seek speed-healers;
to demon-dial the
the metaphor
for semaphore
and wave at waves,
a palimpsest
infrared and unafraid.
they fold like towels
Where’s that Paleo Ryder?
Giddy-up, Paleo Ryder!
