I throw the green army man up into the pale blue cloudless sky and watch mystified as he parachutes back down to earth in a spin.
A giant octopus wreaks havoc on Tokyo.
Paradise on earth was born here first, up to the light, take your second right, a matinee.
Down past the dime store plastic monster teeth, balsa fighter jets with rubber band propelled engines, and tiny suntanned faces.
Super 8 Kodachrome memories of a galaxy far far away.
Babies and puppies and chickens and apples and peaches, little yellow buckets on red-hot white sand beaches.
TV dinners, silly putty, men on the moon, and “I Dream of Jeanie.”
America’s evening TV war was a bad dream and Godzilla washed it away.
Will this writing save my soul? No. But Tokyo is burning anyway.
