Urban Cowboy

Urban Cowboy 
He mounted the bus instead of his horse, 
his hat was so white that it shined; 
boots and belt and fancy bag too, 
leather so new,fancy and brite, 
no cell phone in site, 
he had a square pocket for squares he kept there 
and a pen with which to write 
 :? 
his vows of life. 
He carried no six gun 
and 
he must have a wife 
although 
no hair was out of its place 
he was shine shine shine 
from the sixes to the nines 
his water was nearly ice. 
Sunglasses hid his eyes from me 
but i could tell he saw me 
because of his smile ? 
Old Stone Face 
the Urban Cowboy.
