Until the Lone Ranger Reveals He’s a Drag Queen

Kyle Hemmings

Or the sky stops reflecting the work
of a slowhand god who forgot the C-chords.
When an Eskimo stops seeing safe igloos
of love in a feral girl’s eyes
or the outcast lovers, dreaming
of street maps, swear off midnight confessions
of their most intimate and beloved ghettoes
or Sarah Palin declares Ad Hoc
that we all need an engine tune up,
and that only she holds the perfect wrench,
will I thank you for the dollar discount
of common sense you never gave to me
or the thousand love letters I tore up,
the ones that stated how you loved me
from the depths of your bad circulation
as if I would always be your cuddly toy.
