Fire Licking at my Toes  #150
April 14, 2003

A roach in the van ashtray
and a half bottle of
Arbor mist underneath
my left armpit
surrounded by
bugs of all sizes
and Bumpis Hounds
named Newt and lady
this cabin sits
like a crooked frame
on a rusty nail
amidst the aluminum porn barns
and friendly churches of God
only twelve steps away
