‘You’re only crazy’ and ‘Touring’ by Nolcha Fox

YOU’RE ONLY CRAZY

if you’re like
everybody.
If you strip
naked
at a party
and sit in the punch
bowl
because red
is your favorite color,
you only do
what everybody
wants to do.
But they’re all wimps,
not you.

TOURING

Before the days
of GPS
we drove.
In circles.

Folks’ heads bobbing,
mouths dropping,
each time
we drove by.

I sweat as
gas gauge needle
skewered
empty.

But let’s not stop
to ask for help,
directions,
fill-up.

Touring is better
driving on fumes.
