RUSH OF SAND by Paul Handley

2/1/2010

0 Comments

 
Beachcombers are today’s gold prospectors.
Can collectors fill stolen grocery carts.
They are full of Hope with a capital H.
The problem is the small h heart of a prospector, is the soul of a pirate.
      Enterprise
is stealing copper piping.
     Prospector headlamp
has been exchanged for an Orlando magic cap.
 
Who will be their Jack London?
Grocery cart races instead of sleds.
To differentiate from the copper pipe thieves
They will need to recruit their own Victor Hugo for sanction.


Paul Handley spent a career as a student and a student of odd jobs.  He has an MA, an MPA, and is ABD.  He has driven a cab and sold meat door-to-door.
