brushing up against an elbow of god
somewhere cold in a snow storm
along a slippery freeway
muffled voices on the C.B.
my right foot floors it in another
fast lane to nowhere suicide wish
& I can hear every blues man
who sold his soul laughing to take me
somehow I’m still not ready
of rum I’d bin chugging
since the illinois state line
burning face attached to blurred eyes
spending my holidays
in backwoods Nebraska bars
with old men seen it alls
a zillion novels
written in their wrinkled eyes
sucking in girly tears
sleeping it off
after being kicked out
of another bar I’ll never see again
some state you’ll never be in
who slept on my top bunk
after a week of buying him food
said ‘thanks for everything’
when I dropped him off
in the unforgiving phoenix sun
i found his milk jug
of piss
dumped over
spilling all over
my mini TV
all over my belongings
consciously or not
their pocket lint
elbow god smear shadow
nudge juices
on whatever they touch
one way or another
leaving us with that open road
fast lanes
to everywhere
