Texas Syndrome Written In 2009

If you’re looking for a fight,
If you feel like running on horseback,
To saw bars of prisons,
if you want to play poker
Or drink a whiskey in a saloon,
Perhaps there is a reason?
An unhappy childhood,
The betrayal of a beautiful ideal or
The desire to enjoy life, then
Ask yourself the right question,
Maybe you had an uncle in Dallas
Or have you seen too many westerns,
Maybe a woman lied to you?
Yet women smell good,
So is it Texas syndrome, :
"Too many manly guys around you?"



PS, this is full of french clichés i guess, when i wrote that in 2009

It's not much like the westerns on T.V. anymore, Yann. I like your poem about Texas though. It's filling up with all the people that hate where they were living. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
