Damn, in that tube-top You make me almost forget
That you're my cousin.
----------------
Naked in repose,
Silvery silhouette girls
Adorn my mudflaps.
-----------
A painful sadness.
Can't fit big screen TV through
Double-wide's front door.
--------
In WalMart toy aisle,
Wailing boy wants wrestling doll.
Mama whups his ass.
----------
Unemployment's out
Hey, maybe I can get on
Disability.
---------
Distant siren screams.
Dumb-ass Verne's been playing with
Gasoline again.
---------
Flashlights pierce darkness.
No nightcrawlers to be found.
Guess we'll gig some frogs.
--------
Joyous, playful, bright
Trailer park girl rolls in puddle
Of old motor oil.
-------
Seeking solitude,
Carl's ex-wife Tammy files for
Restraining order.
-------
I curse the rainbow
Emblazoned upon his hood.
God damn Jeff Gordon.
------
Tonight we hunger.
Grandma sent grocery money
To Jimmy Swaggart.
---------
Set the VCR:
Dukes of Hazzard Marathon
At 9 O'Clock.
--------
White noise, buzzing static.
Call Earl. Satellite dish
needs new descrambler.
--------
Sixty-five dollars
And cyclone fence keeps me from
My El Camino.
-------
In early morning mist,
Mama searches Circle K for
Moon Pies and Red Man.
