Pilot, One Each
I wonder where Ken is now.
He flew B-47s in the Cold War
and went downtown in Thuds
when it got hot
for a while there
and he flew that
green GMC pickup
on the back roads
to where the speedometer
said “Full” (I know
‘cause I was there
drunk, too).
I don’t know if he’s alive:
he wasn’t that much older
but I do know, wherever he is,
alive or dead, by God
he’s raising Hell.
