Austin 3:16

drinking airline orange juice
in this intentional community
of perfidy and profundity

the janitorial staff is striking
out into the arterial road
of the neighborhood in which I was raised

"you have a remarkable voice"
I fingered the body panel on the CTS
and the clearcoat pitting played like a record

The man who tinted my first car
later threatened physical violence
because we prank called him

I didn't go to Franklin for weeks
but I listened to Pat's violent encouragement
and returned for a milkshake

Tennesseans are always surprised by the heat
and I suppose we all do forget
the sting of death
