Roadrunner Dispatched From God It Was an Omen
coal towns
where the trains
pour black smoke
hitchin' with her thumb up
said she was with the association
of rodeo clowns she was flat broke
not in wallet but in bones
harley idled
the woman patted
the seat behind her
get on I'll take you there
somewhere there were horses
saddled and bridled
clown had
her arms hugged
tight around the woman
roadrunner appeared dispatched
from god it was an omen
southern new mexico
we'll drink tequila in all those
towns I'll take you there ruidoso downs
my wife's a jockey you be her girlfriend share
the same massage she gave me this harley said
it's freedom
clown squeezed
the woman's ribcage
running her hands up
feeling her way in the wind
on the back of a harley where
liberated dreams turn the page
