playing by the railroad tracks
with m’lady,
spending money, ironing coins
...
taking pictures of butterflies,
petting snakes,
avoiding wet spots and thorns
...
scratching ankles, rolling grass
some awe from circling hawks,
clothes not breezy enough: take ‘em off
...
hear the highway far away,
loud crickets,
laugh at thier situation
...
anticipate the sun’s arrival
from behind blinding
Elvis-shaped clouds... though she sees crabs?
...
inspiration,
that's what she gives
i see the crabs!
...
but mostly we’re by the tracks
me and m'lady
spending money, ironing coins
part 2
from between heavy steel
it had slipped,
whip crack, lightning heat,
...
it had to be the quarter,
not the dime or nickel or penny,
but the quarter
...
that killed m’lady,
lovely under all clouds,
my inspiration
part 3
she eats crab
with kings in heaven
on fine spring days
...
the Buddha laughs
at my pridicament
my fine spring day
with m’lady,
spending money, ironing coins
...
taking pictures of butterflies,
petting snakes,
avoiding wet spots and thorns
...
scratching ankles, rolling grass
some awe from circling hawks,
clothes not breezy enough: take ‘em off
