Poem for Tuesday, December 22, 2009


Camaraderie

Driving like madmen, westbound on I-40
with the Norwood brothers and their
hillbilly rock

snare (tap bang tap bang), whistle
guitar (pluck pluck pluck), whistle

the sky, indecisive as ever
spitting out drops of rain and swallowing
them back up, like stomaching
a shot of whisky

hazy winter fog bonds with cigarette smoke
another friendship formed in
the universe

snare, whistle
snare, oo-wee

nobody speaks what's on our minds
(hamsters on wheels, sweating to produce
that unspeakable thought):

we're fucking old, man
but we can never disband

la la la la
