take me to the station cuz i'm #31
today the sun set heavy
as though we've been storing old cars
in it
i drive an old car
with the windows down
so every hobo begging
on the median
used to have the same old car
once
way back
and rattle life highlights
for a buck or ashtraychange
i think its worth it
i donno
i was hauling ass thru giddings
when a blow out took my day
to the side
and why i never realized
that a 45 year old spare tire
might not have air in it
is beyond me
a 300 lb black man
who works the graveyard shift
at a motel off rundberg
gave me a ride
up to buc-ee's
think of cleaning yr nails up
or what it means to fall down
at the altar of a southern baptist wedding
think of a fly flying around
i mean
how long has it been since you've cleaned
off your computer screen?
and when will the shaving razor
finally meet my needs?
how many blades will it take?
hamburger on a stick.
sex crazed sports hero.
stabbed with a limb saw.
wild comfort demands.
deducting full details.
new: bonsai mist.
i live each day
as though professionals
wanted photos of my belly
as though sugar gliders
finally caught on
and found a final owner
as though
continued support was santa-esque
and not so fragile
as the first leaves of autumn
falling all peripheral and certain
of their purpose
4 lbs of paper clips cradled by a towel
and two friends
my neighbor got out of prison last week
after 12... long... years
and he's looking for work
waxing floors
so let me know if you hear anything
cuz there's nothing like watching
a drunken soldier stumbling around a wedding
there's nothing like the night and the morning
there's nothing like this
and there sure as hell
ain't nothing
like that
