Episode 19: Roto-gyroman Chapter One

(Immersive Verse series)

1

Roto-Gyroman started out life a Roto-Gyroboy

The rotary-notion first seeded in the soil of his imagination

From there it quickly sprouted wings for hovering up off the ground

Not fixed wings but ones that spun,

Like blades (a propeller above his head).

Next, a stirring occurred; kept recurring

Whipping around; upending his soul.

Roto-Gyroman started out life a Roto-Gyroboy

The rotary-notion first seeded in the soil of his imagination

From there it quickly sprouted wings for hovering up off the ground.

2

When young, while running trucks through hand dug ruts

For hours at a time—among the front yard shrubs.
