(Regarding “The African Queen”)

the chug of a coal fired boiler
gave gruff grumbling voice
to a tall tin can stack with
inflections of both Bogey’s
grit and Kate’s schooled
raspy burr joining steam
to the river mist hovering
over hot jungles a journey
of desperate survival through
German East Africa fraught
with the outreach of war
gunboat intrigue and passion
of juxtaposition a romance
of accident driving toward
imminent tragedy patent
with Huston’s intensity
built to explosive conclusion
a denouement nicely endowed
with a classical ethos

they sure as hell
don’t anymore
make them quite
like they used to
