arlington, virginia

Jack Henry

quick stop
    pit stop
1 & ? star motor inn

beer by the bucket
    a hooker named cindy
too drunk for the fucking

seems i can’t win

she’s a nice girl
    w/tattoos, a cheap wig
and chronic fatigue syndrome

born, found, and lost
    from small town ambition
temptation keeps her near

she laughs at my misery
    erectile dysfunction
we talk about baseball
and watch my color tv

seems i can’t win

a sudden surprise
    just before midnight
we pound through infomercials

gone before the crows
    6 am flight, i’m leaving
i find myself scratching

seems i just can’t win
