Green plastic comb.
Grease your hair back.
Don't loosen your loose track.
You would boulder on the bluffs,
overlook where waves subside,
take solemn mountain cat naps
with burrs in your socks.
You would cut the humid asphalt
after midnight
with your leather briefcase snapped.
Flashing your smile - what charisma!
Every storefront mirror was a window.
A new rumor will consume you.
Will you remember the outfit you wore
or your gold ring?
Will you mourn the reckless
hunk with red eyes who spoke slow,
like syrup pours from plastic pitchers?
Remember stocking jewelry,
costume runs and sweet martinis.
Clean sheets on this bed won’t calm you.
You saw the poison scratch,
deep in his own damp canvas enclosure:
wax and mold,
cold cream, cold sore cream,
epsom foot soak and
“Goin’ Down That Lonesome Road,”
but no soggy bundles
between flat rocks.
