A few hours after Des Moines	A
the toilet overflowed	B
This wasn't the adventure it sounds	C
	-
I sat with a man whose tattoos	D
weighed more than I did	E
He played Hendrix on mouth guitar	F
His Electric Ladyland lips	G
weren't fast enough	H
and if pitch and melody	I
are the rudiments of music	J
this was just	K
memory a body nostalgic	J
for the touch of adored sound	L
	-
Hope's a smaller thing on a bus	M
	-
You hope a forgotten smoke consorts	M
with lint in the pocket of last	N
resort to be upwind	N
of the human condition that the baby	I
sleeps	M
and when this never happens	M
that she cries	M
with the lullaby meter of the sea	I
	-
We were swallowed by rhythm	O
The ultra blond	N
who removed her wig and applied	N
fresh loops of duct tape	P
to her skull	Q
her companion who held a mirror	R
and popped his dentures	M
in and out of place	M
the boy who cut stuffing	S
from the seat where his mother	R
should have been	T
there was a little more sleep	U
in our thoughts	M
it was easier to yield	N
	-
To what exactly	I
the suspicion that what we watch	V
watches back	W
cornfields that stare at our hands	M
downtowns	M
that hold us in their windows	M
through the night	N
	-
Or faith strange to feel	X
in that zoo of manners	M
	-
I had drool on my shirt and breath	Y
of the undead a guy	Z
dropped empty Buds on the floor	A2
like gravity was born	B2
to provide this service	M
we were white and black trash	C2
who'd come	O
in an outhouse on wheels and still	D2
	-
some had grown	E2
in touching the spirited shirts	M
on clotheslines	M
after watching a sky of starlings	M
flow like cursive	H
over wheat back into creatures	M
capable of a wish	F2
	-
As we entered Arizona	G2
I thought I smelled the ocean	H2
liked the lie of this	M
and closed my eyes	M
as shadows	M
puppeted against my lids	M
	-
We brought our failures with us	M
their taste their smell	I2
But the kid	N
who threw up in the back	W
pushed to the window anyway	J2
opened it	N
and let the wind clean his face	M
screamed something	S
I couldn't make out	N
but agreed with	K2
in shape a sound I recognized	N
as everything I'd come so far	F
to give away	J2
