Olson’s Short

Visitor to Gloucester
Borrowed poet’s short
Out and about
Running errands
Panicked discovery
No reverse
Olson not surprised
Aren’t they all like that
Trick is never
Position yourself
Annoying need
To back up
One track mind
Head first
Into abyss
Monumental Maximus
Halted only
By untimely death
Don’t look back
Lot’s wife
Costly glimpse
Over her shoulder
Blazing city
Turned into
Pillar of salt
So far from
The sea
