Some Funny Thought On The Way Out Nowhere

Now again, someone upstairs, 
and somewhere on a bus
headed somewhere in Louisiana 
where it is one a.m.

eyes mind thy business 
while pyramid in the sky 
shows well it’s lessons and then 
out wild and naked
in the Nevada sun,
 
the dark green grass 
and the funeral, 
where a police car prowls past and says
 “Don’t you know you’ll freeze?”
then their faces turn yellow 
and blood pours out the mouth 
on this calm night that 
brought cool to the Summer. 

Waiting on Storefront Nowhere America
but there are still plenty of trains and lightning.

Wind and rain still relentless.
