I Could Write the Phone Book and They'd Come
undertakers
and embalmers
churches and hearses
horse taxis and midnight psalmers
the candlelight vigil prayer warriors
black powder shooters in jim bridger furs
I could write
the phone book
and they'd come
blacksmiths and farriers
gene autry gave me the verses
doc holliday the huckleberry and
annie oakley the target wild plum
museum of antiquity
my hollywood spaghetti western
film props to view shooting scripts
director autographed another evil manson
at the pulpit and the donkey creek church pew
there it's hung
wild bill hickok's mural next
to the faro table wyatt earp's tin star
and lawman vest encased in fame jett durango's
gun
my blood in a vial
vampire grifters old west
hea hea sigh sigh billy bob thornton
angelina jolie when that marriage was done
I felt my own pain years later on the durango train
I could write the phone book and they'd come
