***** And Hotdogs

***** from the bottle,

Warm.

Hot dogs from the package,

When your down and *****

The grotesque becomes magic.

Pawning a guitar for a pellet gun,

To procure breakfast.

Squirrel stew in the back of a scamper camper.

Spotlighting bullfrogs,

And mopping floors for a hot meal,

And a cold beer,

And a sympathetic ear.

Nights when the blacktop turned into void,

And the painted lines became a tightrope to nowhere.

Full circle,

Bangor to Frisco,

Any woman who was willing to sleep in the bed of a truck

Was a queen for as long as she stayed,

Always had **** concealed on me,

The copper piece of road currency,

To the gold and silver, of *** and gas.

The exchange rates would change overnight,

But syphon some gas at a truck stop

And it all will be alright.

Misspent youth, following bands

And getting lost along the way.

***** from the bottle,

And hot dogs from the package.

I haven't eaten a hotdog in years, and I don't miss those days.

Peace and love
