DREAM
ALL OF LIFE’S JUST A DAMN CODEINE DREAM
If we’d had kids one would be a Colter Wall ginger
cowboy Come by it honestly Grandfather Lee 6ft.
under now but he was the realdeal Cow dung on
cowboy boots until 50 Real job killed him Sold his soul
real estate to feed us
Horses glue Farm paved to put up an industrial complex
His brother executored him with an iron fist Lee stood by
him +taught us that you guard brotherly love with your life
And when Lee died his bro was nowhere in sight
It was about 20 yrs later when feeble +dementia-ed said
brother woke with a start He found Lee stuck in his bathroom
mirror where he fed him tea +oranges all the way from Poland
And at night they’d ride out onto the range where the coyotes
howled their children’s names
__
Some cruel night cycle
Leaves me crying’ on a motel floor
But I don’t cry for you anymore
(Codeine Dream Colter Wall 2017)
