Adventures

poetry

We’re living in the country where
the West had to be won before
the rest of us had somewhere nice
to drive to on vacations.
Two full days will get you to the
coast, or so I’ve heard – two more
days will probably get you back,
unless you’re waylaid by
a  band of countrymen who
aren’t content to coughing up
pay-outs for your little clay chips
at the end of a long, drunken evening
of pulling levers and shooting dice.

    I can relate.. except for the part about the savage band – though they did throw a Molotov cocktail at the suburban two cars in front of me. I feel like that suffices.
