lyrics

Put the oil cans where suns don’t shine
I’m leaving all of her behind
She’s got girth!
And spurs
To vent
Swallows Borax for penance

Forgive me, my rickets lady
Fresh fruit floats in the Gulf
While you vomit in the pantry

I’m through!
East Texas love affair

I moved out
Arias for timid rattlers
‘Post this’ dim wit theorizers
In the post-post too-cool bubba
Concentrate on gravy dropping black magic in my hopper
I crush you
And you’re nothing but a liquid
I’m living through
I am past living through

I’m through!
East Texas love affair

Eating breakfast with Terri Schiavo
In space!

I need to consult
The wandering pigeon
Who will receive the host
From the dolled-up pensioner
Possum craft, and fawning sods
Concentrate on droll assaults
Possum craft, and fawning sops

Dear Nomad was a column I never read
Too busy washing Debra’s clothes
Broken bras and soiled hose
Who am I kidding, guys?
