<< 49. Waging A Good War: A Military History of the Civil Rights Movement51. Single Malt Whiskey (poem) >>

White Whale (poem)

By John Crandell

[Printer-Friendly Version]

One hour and eight minutes in
I always turn it off now
Can't stand to watch the full
one hundred and eighty three minutes
That red bandana - the Russian roulette
       staggering impact long ago
Those first sixty eight minutes
      are a masterpiece though
Once upon a time
       I couldn't get enough of it all
But where is that white tail-finned Cadillac?
       Who owns it? Does it still exist?
And those were the best years of our lives?

—John Crandell
