"coors" poems
Churches and cathedrals filled with paralegal misfits, its just sick how beautiful nations can come to this. Bowing down on knees just to see a better view, quoting a bunch of words or two, you lie sins still comes in multiples. I know because I've seen many clips being load, and triggers pulled to explode flesh just to expose the soul. You wash your faces with holy water, then when service is over your back on corners bringing wars such as black on black slaughter. Selling dopamine to fends hellacious scenes seems to be clear to see hell-raiser dreams I seem to intervene, contradictions to competitions, imperfect visions, natural destruction I can't believe, a deep pit I can't perceive. Arab stores selling crack, Coors and ****** ****** Nobody scores in this world of imperfections. A twisted method and deal we keep our lips sealed, and peace is killed all because of the choices of freewill.

Freewill
Well I like the taste of Whiskey, but today it was just a disguise. The reason I’ve been drinking, Is because she said goodbye. She turned away from me and she walked right straight to him. So I called up my 3 amigos Johnny, Jack and Jim. Chorus Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels and Good old Jim Beam, Whenever I need them, they’re here for me, They’ll drown out the hurt and dry up the tears, And do in one glass, what takes 15 beers. So I don’t drink Bud, Miller or Coors light, I go straight for the whiskey and knock it out right. So I got in my truck and headed for the creek Pulled out my pole and I started a streak 15 bass and a couple of brim Then I started thinking about her and him Her in his arms in the back of the truck I started damning all of my luck Walked to the yeti and popped open the top Nothing in there that would make it stop Drove to the house and opened the door Those three bottles where there on the floor. Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels and Good old Jim Beam, Whenever I need them, they’re here for me, They’ll drown out the hurt and dry up the tears, And do in one glass, what takes 15 beers. So I don’t drink bud, miller or Coors light I go straight for the whiskey and knock it out right. Woke up in the morning with the light creeping in Sitting in the chair right where I had been Phone started ringing; my head was pitching a fit Recognized the number, so I answered it She said she was sorry and that she had been wrong She started crying, saying she wasn’t strong I’d heard enough, I was trying to mend I told her no, goodbye, so I pressed end Sat back down, phone ringing again Decided to spend some more time with my men Reached on down picked em up off the floor One more time I wouldn’t need her no more Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels and Good old Jim Beam, Whenever I need them, they’re here for me, They’ll drown out the hurt and dry up the tears, And do in one glass, what takes 15 beers. So I don’t drink bud, miller or Coors light I go straight for the whiskey and knock it out right.

Hunting dove down on the backroad way on back only the rancher knows he doesn’t care so we wait for flight 12 gauges ready to start our plight Ring necks, white wings, and mourning’s are game chichi birds make us swing all the same listening for the whistle and the beat of the wing one of us today, will win the brass ring Limiting out is what we’re hoping for but if not, you couldn’t hope for more outside with friends and family alike kids getting bored, gone on a hike Men at the truck with cold Coors Light relaxing outdoors, no one’s uptight suns getting low, they are about to fly here they come, hear the wings sigh Draw a bead and a lead and fire away one bird down, hope there’s more we pray birds on the tailgate at the end of fight get em’ all clean before the black of the night.

the compensation for my competence? a can of Coors occasionally crowned with sticky notes instruction-filled and dense,    with worn old shoe string thick and tightly bound, a brief hurrah before a list to do, if time were air, with duty i'd turn blue,    a present given as a false pretense,    his recompense? a crushed Coors can atop the boss' desk, a drop spilled on the wood, a single sticky note stuck to the drop,    "your list of things to do, i could, I should... yet reach up to that single book, top shelf!" ("Learn How to Fix Your Life--Do It Yourself!")    soon management will purge all its dead wood, and driftwood i will be among the planks,   and crates expelled above board for to stay afloat, the company in all its ranks,   will learn that without wood the boat will stray not only from its sure intended course, but from the surface to the floor of course,   to join the tiger shark and manta ray, soon supervisors, managers and such   will join department heads, vice presidents, chief officers valued, appraised worth much,    thrown overboard to chase those dividends, that sink so silently to ocean floor, where there exists no air lock's safety door,   when futures join the pasts through these presents, my recompense for knowing when to quit?   a can of Coors occasionally crowned with smiling lips and laughing breath of wit,   my happy feet in new shoes leather-bound, a new ship where appreciation rings the ship bells of respect on many things,   smooth sailing through safe seas without a ground.

the empties of the week hold guard over my room. they stand like brave sentinels and we watch the sun rise together. bottles, cans, flasks, drams these are my friends, the empties of the week. sunlight burns off of tinted brown glass and i am alone, except these are my friends, the empties of the week.

The Empties of the Week
the one little bee bit me. pit me up against my me. tea. for three. now serves only me. for thee, has been a destroyer to my kind handles and controls you drank coors. i smiled as a child . for reasons coldy draw that in my childish state I saw that star that told me such a nursery rhyme and said that if i should give it time, some will would have me find that stories make life chime and together in ******** cohesion with knotted roots of profusion and exstactic empathofusion moving. and the story was you. with your coors. twinkle said the star and I hungered and sang through all time to hear such another nursery rhyme only to get the buckled pang from my empty state of mind.

child's rendition
When I turned sixteen, I brought a girl home drunk and stumbling A day later, I was interviewed by the government criminal investigation Two months later, she was disowned by her parents Last I heard, she's at a rehab in Florida It's been a long time since I've seen her. When I was fourteen, I hid cigarettes in my backpack, and lighters in my wallet Used to sit in the middle of a basketball court and watch my stress float away in a noxious grey cloud I stashed my twelve dollar pack of coors in a bush behind the half-wall It's been a long time since I've seen those. I was thirteen when I found a papercutter in the drawer of the art room. Took it home with me, fell asleep to the sound of it scathing in and out of its sheath I once got so frustrated I wanted to slice my throat with it I threw it out the window It's been a long time since I've seen it. When I was fifteen, I went out with friends and got wasted on chocolate liquor Two weeks later, ***** the day after, tequila and the week before, strawberry daiquiri I don't remember much. It's been a long time since I've done that. When I was thirteen, I wrote poetry to sort out my emotions It's been a long time since I've done that...

1800 Georgie boy busch bud coors PBR they slide down the relaxed throat of an unrelaxed youth and these red squiggly lines mark my poems as if to say hey, Harry buddy, you realize that you make no god **** sense, right? and who decides what is and what isn't nonsensical All I know is that these crazy ******* yankees are making me lose my grip on the English stiff upper lip reality My tenth grade history teacher/JV soccer coach liked to make songs up about me There's only one Harry Baxter true. only not there are many of us the good Harry The bad Harry Ugly Harry and swagger Harry Violent Harry and introspective Harry Romantic and evil caring and selfish I get drunk to forget everything life money cares desires needs duty I write about ten ************* poems a day not because I'm prolific or inspired not because I'm deep or smart or romantic I write because it stems the tide of suicidal thoughts which barrage my inactive mind like cannon ***** and I've got great ***** of fire rushing the pace of every word I spit but I'm afraid of my own genetic cowardice From grandfather to father to son it runs through my veins like people and bulls I'm drunk tonight I'll be drunk tomorrow and what the hell do you care?

Drunk Poetry
Throw me out of a moving car After a long night at the bar, come on Dangle myself out a speeding car Death is near but I’m too far gone Let’s have a good time We can never die Come on Get me in to the car To the moon and past the stars Come on Pull away in a stolen car I forget how did this all start? Go for a joy ride This is the good life come on Once upon a time Under the moonlight On a summers night She was being real shy And then she took a bite And her eyes met mine Were skating on thin ice We higher than a kite No such thing as a good bye Let’s go for a ride It’s a joy ride Let’s enjoy tonight Like it’s the end of our lives Come on

By the Coors Light of the Blue Moon, Bud
Brownwood, Texas is the place Where we go to give game chase Deer, Turkey, Dove or Quail That’s where we track them on the trail From a ground blind or a tree This is where we feel most free Drinking whiskey by firelight Or sometimes it’s Cold Coors Lite Hot, Cold, wind or rain, we don’t care To fill our tag is our prayer Rifle, Shot gun or Bow To fill our freezer, with, bird, buck or doe Sometimes we go just to camp In the morning it is damp Horse licking dew off the tent Sometimes this is how night is spent Flashing lights and UFO’s No one believes us but we know Taking Picture’s in Bluebonnets in spring Lots of Stories about everything Driving across condemned bridges Chasing Deer across Fences Busting bottles on the Sign Driving through the River that winds Multiple Jeeps, wheelers, Trucks of all Kinds But Polaris Ranger is head of the line When it comes to getting around Smoothest ride on the ground Kids, chase rabbits, and lizards galore Collecting bones, climbing trees and more 20 years on this lease Sometimes it is good for Peace Of the soul and of the mind A great place to escape the grind Miles, Years, Family and Friends It has paid in dividends

Deer Lease
He wore a wife beater. Which hung on him more like a to do list- Than his clothing choice for the day. His choice of beverage of the night was Coors Light. Twenty four of them. Although it would be hard to argue that something else would have been in his hand Had it too been on sale at 2 for $20. His math skills were heightened on Fridays. On the weekend he was somewhat of a savant. Dividing dollars by can volume to determine. His most frugal choice. As he moseyed to his car, Hips struggling to hold his Tattered sweatpants, One wondered whether it too ran on alcohol.

24-Pack To-Go
I'm sitting here, at my regular table and in through the door, waddles a stream of gluttony bodies like melting planets and a look which falls somewhere between pride and entitlement is plastered on their sweaty bovine faces they come into an area graze while the grass is good and slowly meander elsewhere chewing the cud the whole while like an old trail hand chews a thick *** of tobacco these people who don't know the meaning of living a lean life what do they do? besides propagating fast food franchises and big and tall clothing stores what do they do? they sit in their cubicles doing the same mindless mundane pointless task for eight hours with lunch and breaks and then they drag themselves back home to the herd and sit down in their puffy couches in front of the T.V. with a microwaved meal staining their beat up wife beaters before they fall asleep on the couch their mouths propped open drooling with a still half full can of coors light balanced precariously between their cottage cheese thighs

on sunday mornings we eat frozen waffles and wash our faces with stale coors light and the tears of our mamas that we kept in plastic water bottles from the time when they cried cause their babies were leaving for the first time and we wait and we wait for the day to be over so that we can feel like we’re alive again. pray for us. pray for sunshine. pray for freedom. -d.k.

finding my inner rapper
March and April are the time when crappie bite and winds chime Cedar Creek, Prince's dock it's the spot do not mock Years of trees submerged there fishing rods used by the pair minnow on one jig on the other catching crappie is never a bother Medium shiner and red and chartreuse skirt cast em out wait for the **** cold Coors lite in the fridge if not biting here, let’s try Caney bridge Or maybe a dock across the way down on the dam at the end of the day but usually the dock will do just fine under lights at dark or in sunshine Fill the basket with white and black watch the cork, reel the slack when it bobs, set the hook paperlip slab, fillet and cook Electric knife and old butcher block cleaning fish around the clock cornmeal, seasoning and fillets a great dinner at the end of the day Shake in a sack and toss in hot oil toss in some hushpuppies' watch it roil. eating on the deck with family and friends our bellies full, the day ends

Fishing on the Dock
there's a ringing in my ears that sounds like the feed trucks roaring down 50 and  broken country music coming through an ancient stereo, sounds like the way your thick palms look when they pull a cap off a Coors bottle, and that side eye you give, why do you keep looking at me like that? Like what? As if my looks were incendiary glares and not photographs, I'm only taking you in, not taking you out. Like what? Hasn't anyone ever traced your lips or wondered if God built you out of brick? Laid silk over your harsh corners and sanded you down with a smile--why am I looking at you like that? sounds like I put myself here and effectively took myself out, sounds like you're one of kind and so different and i've never felt this way but I've heard all of those-- he's not waiting but i am, maybe for some kind of epiphany, some kind of insurgent thought--an outpouring of light in the rooms he thinks are lit, i wish I could light candles down his tenebrous hallways, hang lanterns in the crook of his elbow, make sure that the shadows only ever follow at a distance but I can't assuage the feelings you haven't found, the fleeting thoughts you ignore, I can't smelt the ore from your blood or even pull a splinter from your palm. He told me once he was in no hurry, no rush. But I've felt like i'm waiting on him, how strange, he'd probably say. Probably tell me at least once more how much sense I don't make--but I tell myself that only a few people beat for me, run the tracks at the same speed-- that my explanations are enough for every other part of myself and trying to explain that I am many, that I hang fire and break beds with prayer is like trying to describe colors; warm, but not bright. Rich, hearty, elegant. -- Untitled. 1994. Oil on canvas.

Sitting around stories told Talking about days of old Hunting, fishing and good times Busting bottles. Stealing signs Starry night is made of gold Warm Campfires and Coors lite Makes for a fabulous night Crispy Fritos and bean dip Great ideas and good tips All relaxed, no ones up tight Pack of coyotes begin to sing Who knows what the dark night might bring My wife gives me a sly wink Mountains blue, I get a drink feel just like a sitting king Shining stars in the night sky Satellites that fast fly by Meteorites trailing fast They just never ever last Hell of a time that's no lie

Campfires and Coors Lite
I said i like the smell of whiskey and the whole cabin was filled with puerto ricans and chile pepper seeds scattered on the floor, a hundred pots lined up on the stove with rouxs and sweet syrups, masa mixed with pork broth, shortening and garlic the men lining the porch in sunglasses and blue wranglers going on about the rig or Virginia or Hurricane Matthew-- what is it? about running away? I thought; time passes so fast I've clipped pieces from the past, snapshots i've unknowingly gathered Uncle Dude three sheets out, standing in the kitchen after you'd been drinking all day, your mom reminiscing in the corner with tired eyes and stained fingers from wine,raisins, condensed milk, consoling a drunk neighbor, (Florida State won earlier) through the screen while you reclined in the sun or the rotating image of your heels crunching through the long morning grass. I'd been sustained on quiche that needed no seasoning, coffee creamer, cherry pie and the feeling of slipping bare feet into boots, on quiet, on   dark forearms and white biceps the print of a little bird ring, dark, brittle nights that smelled like cigars and Coors-- I've been trying to talk to God all weekend but I think he's gone. I think I'm alone. I think I've run away. I'm home, but there's nobody here.

Puerto Rican Jaunts.
Red wine and Coors Light Reminds me of a time Where happiness was scarce and unknown A time where in a group I still felt alone Empty cans and bottles scattered our floor Bitter words, sour smell added to the wicked allure Yells and fists became a everyday routine Tears hidden as I choked on my screams Mama favored the wine the way it helped relive her pain He favored beer the way it made reality fade I suppose sometimes the haze may help to unwind As long as you don't abuse it all the time Some just can't stop when they feel the buzz, can't resist the pull But continue to drink even when full My own worse enemy were my little feet and puny hands Not strong enough to save her from that wicked man So small and unable to help Can't imagine the pain I felt Grew strong and escaped the darkness and pain Left her there with the man who she refused to blame If you ever loved me You'd set the devil free But she couldn't My heart knew she wouldn't Stayed with him for years Through all the tears Always thinking of his happiness, never mine That's what I remember when I see red wine and coors light

Red wine and Coors Light
12 am, white summer night Abandoned playground, warm Coors Light I say, *"I'm so nervous, let's play like this Have some fun on the swings or slide."* You say, *"Are you not ready? I've already wasted too much time."* I guess it's funny, telling lies Because I liked you and you liked to be liked He gave me catnip at **** price The ******* ****** I thought Everything was alright He said, "Don't get older, don't get cruel" Like he had the power to **** his ***** *** that's not cool But I got a bottle and a few Sneak out or play nice My basement is less entertaining Than walking the night Sneak out or play nice You can try to follow me out if you'd like Sneak out or play nice I went with my best friend the first two times Sneak out or play nice I'm embarrassed to say we never felt quite like those nights again It must be something that flees as soon as it's missed

Sneak Out or Play Nice
around the time Hurricane Matthew was tearing through Florida, it was 10:34pm in Divide-- A Coors bottle pressed into your beard, settled on your bottom lip in contemplation a boyish reverie spun between us when you spoke softly relaying the genealogy of the Hatfields & Mccoys, Ole Ran'l, Devil Anse piping in, your accent seeps through real Midwestern like--stops when you're on about prayer trees and La Llorona But I was deeply introspective, heavily burdened by a Randy Travis song how earlier that morning your fingers had found their way around my hips--         mine around your waistband, down your spine         a helpless explorer driven across the mainland        transversing shoulder blades, fascinated by chains         around your neck, nooses, playthings or jewelry          how around 3 am your gravely voice sought me          out across a sea of torrid thoughts to ask if I was cold yes. probably. and when we start the decline, tripping lazily over moss clumps dead grass, fallen trees, I storm and plow ahead because when in doubt, race yourself. Sheltered by the truck gate, you've come up ahead and stand in front of me, unassuming both hands complacent-- so I ask you to kiss me and there's a fiddle playin' in my ears, a highway of country streamin' through my veins, or, something like that.

the stragglers.
Waste the way that it tastes as it rolls off the filter tip Light off the night as it riles up our lower lives like pure reptile brains Do moths fly towards lightning bugs like candles? Does a drug overdose vision of God turn the addict into a messiah Or is it just another try at seeing the light for the first time right overcoming might Like a sight for sore eyes sick to my stomach every **** morning Two Coors Lights and the rain is pouring it's **** cold in this Texas town

Finding Frost On The Moths In The Morning
Saturday 29 His house. Filled not only with the people that I love but all the people that I despise the most The snap backs, the Coors, the drunken barbies I chug the ***** and laugh at their stupidity Cigarette number 1.2&3 at once on the porch and she gets there pulls out her white powder her lines in the kitchen He yells, he wants to fight her I don't want to stop him but I do Is it terrible to think she'd be better off dead? The smell of lust consumes me as the air of a lost love surrounds me He pulls me in kissing him on drunken nights seems to become a trend The friend that I can't lust for calls for me he needs me but I can't be there Eventually I tear myself away I curl up with the friend again Giving him hope in an impossible daydream
