Further West

further west...

one armed dove shot
dairyland cafe
first marching band in texas
around the mid twenties

drivers one after another
on the way to california
drove and drove
stopped in for a stretch

a good night's sleep
eyed by the lawman's eye
he's stoic and suspicious
he believes the devil's lies

further west...

there's more trust out there
and uncaring smiles
everywhere you look there's peace
overcome by a norther

shut in for days and days
fires and stories of justice
on ridges and bluffs
went to the non smoking side

always avoiding the looks
she warmed up to us
after a while
after a little while

further west...

"1st Victim" by The Mayor Dumb ass.  Loses the element of surprise and becomes the 1st victim.  Add to it, he is carrying an oversi...

Maniacs And Friends

last night i dreamed i forgave everybody for anything ever done anytime before. there were fathers, brothers, sisters, and mothers, not to mention extended family. then the people all around -- toilers, drivers, watchers, lovers, maniacs, and friends. things they did, said, implied, yelled, things they ignored, they insisted, they resisted. i was talking with each of them individually, taking my time, and we were committed. nods and shakes, aknowledgments accepted and replaced with a debt of some sort. a responsibility to forgive others in the same manner, slate picked clean and put up. minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, and generations will pass either way.
