Moving day

As we crossed the bridge
the mattress flipped
end-over-
end
out of the truck, into the lake
on its way out to sea

I laughed
at this burial at sea
a lighthearted funeral, it was.

Terry was flabbergasted and
afraid.
.
Everyone else just stared
not certain how to react
torn
between my laughter and Terrys
horror

I slapped Terry, on the back...

NASHVILLE PUSSY

Nugent was always chasing it
I tried to run away, but
the Nashville Pussy found me
took me to the French Quarter
whipped me good and kept me
out all night

When I woke up
in the backseat of my car
a note was pinned to the sleeve
of my shirt
"Thanks for the great night, love
Pussy" it said
I hicupped as...

Nights like this
I wonder the streets
At 2 am
Concentrated chaos
Funneling frustration
Feedback and intoxication
Into footsteps
Circling
Her house
Endlessly

Its too cold
To dance in this town
All ambition is frozen
Like my tongue
In the schoolyard
Where all the schoolgirls
Stare, and I
Turn red
Blue

Another evening at the End of The World

The band was on stage
bleeding
The crowd felt
sour
Hissing at love songs
starting fights by candlelight

Children were abandoned
Comets rained down
Teardrops were constant

- This isnt much of a party
I said, he answered
- Sometimes there is singing. Sometimes there is mass suicide
