Fat soccer moms speed walk in their jogging suits
with cafe lattes and
cigarettes
in hand.
A Pretentious young man hurries down Main Street
with his cell phone and briefcase
as if it's Wall Street
in Nowhere, Colorado
with its great views.
True Freedom lovers puff their chests
as they pass the G.I. surplus store
that boasts its sale of
"Blades 'N' Bullets"
and
An American
Flag
Insert symbolic ball-grab
A "concerned" (curious) old man
stares at me through the windshield
"Making sure you weren't
Dead"
I know I look like shit
but I'm not on drugs, Old Man
not right now
It's too early
It's only 10:00 AM for christ's sake
I'm just listening to
Why?
