boppers are nodding out in
redolent phrases of Au Privave
35 years before the first
spoonful

                 so this is the right joint

albeit now just a field of broken
words where the terrible
noise set it all off

                              but hey baby come back here

like Faron Young once said
“Wouldn’t that be great? To be
killed by Hank Williams!”
as the fucker pointed a loaded
gun to his temple because
he wanted his woman

I’m skin popping Ripple on
Dead Indian Rd. just to lick
that gardenia in moonlight

                                            yes baby oh yes

it is a war I can’t understand
please straighten
your stockings

                   and dig the imponderables

I will quit forever for way too long
