thumb-stuck thru kansas and oklahoma

one day to tallahassee
two to yosemite
one to portland
day 'n' a half to denver

eight days contemplation
along I-35
70 out o' kansas city
that reeks o' carcass
rot 'n' dog food
seeing images
masks 'n'
license plates

what w'd jesus
do indeed...?
hmmm...
i flew signs
reading water
not money 'r handout
only finding
birds 'n' fingers
changing lanes
away

pious
pissy
children

dank 'n' liquid
shat the inbred
crossed lawns
motels 'n' brotels
careening a-peeking
my value
the rubber-
necked bastards!

got out with
a girl from
east texas

she hated you
too
