Graveyard Wisdom

they'd give anything if they had my cough or a kingsize bed that was nice and soft pure envy runs through their veins everyday seems the same the same, the same, the same they all wish they could go to work experience the frustrations that lurk day after day they wish a talk, a lunch, a kiss one kiss, one kiss, one kiss seasons change like a kaleidoscope though the years they learn not to hope death touches all the races the colorless resting places but there's no rest in this place they long to hold another and taste sweet honey see the sun fall asleep and have a pocket full of money smell all the smells of the dirt feel the pain of being hurt it's the pain that hurts

My Shiny Used Car

Hochatown Hoot

good evening.  thanks for listening to the Hochatown Hoot on KEWL 107.1, Southeastern Oklahoma's destination for culture, music, and news.  this is lane ramsey with local news.  Adabel police took a man to jail early this morning at 2:30am.  the man, 32, is accused of assault of a minor.  evidently, the man slapped the 7 year old boy after the boy asked him a question at a card game.  "I ain't your daddy, boy," was heard before the alledged assault.  police are still investigating while the man sits in the McClacklin County jail.  further, the man was immediately ambushed at the scene by three women.  hospital officials confirm he had multiple deep cuts around both knees and possibly bone fractures to the face and left arm.  several teeth were missing, but dental records will determine if they were already gone.  needless to say, he has alot to think about....

Owl Eyes

she sees everything day and night she sees through the confusion eyes big and wide and clear she sees no illusions with intuition, she finds her way the truth, the lies always there, perched above me with her owl eyes spotted in a crowded room never took my eyes off her beauty spoke of peace and rest to come i watched as she spoke truley then she vanished into the night fog everything was dripping with sweat my heart broke like a midnight drum i missed the eyes i just met she had owl eyes that knew me she had owl eyes that wanted me she had owl eyes that loved me she had owl eyes woke from a dream, startled took a deep breath and sighed pulled the covers up, warm and morning smells took a look at my sweet owl eyes she had owl eyes that knew me she had owl eyes that wanted me she had owl eyes that loved me she had owl eyes

The Night I Saw A Day

brother looked wired on caffeine cab full of offspring, one of them snoring growing tall and sturdy could'a swore he called me uncle ross walked the streets and back alleys skipped the dark trail by the river cold, dark, and lonesome it looked ran across the road like desperate cats stood in line at a chicken place then we fed the poor and hungry they snubbed their noses and sneered but they did take time to enjoy the feast activities commence rosy kiss from the lips of a queen the skin smooth and cool to the touch tight muscles relaxed and breathing slow now we need to bleed the poison unburden the mind, make it light drink wine in a juice glass understand the talk, understand the eyes phone calls late at night must rescue another distressed dame comfort and courage when we meet the night i saw a day
