We give into the loud sounds.

The droning engines growling easily

Springtime In the State of Texas

Down thin and dappled paths;
Where bluebonnets bloom on Spring’s black floor,
And mockingbirds above are happily singing, see

In Fatuous Cupidity

I would have chucked him long ago … but he’s the only one I’ve found
His wings look like two dusters that have hung around too long
The feath...

Celluloid Cowboys
...Old Cowboys, forts and shootouts
Black for bad and White for good
With a spinning canvas background
And cactus cutouts made of wood
The desert sits behind them

The Dishwasher's Loaded

The dishwasher’s loaded,
The plates are all used,
The cups are all dirty and the plates all confused.
My clothes are all ragged,
My shoes scuffed and worn,

I have my morning coffee. When I'm through,
I wash my cup and saucer and admire

Stinging pink cheeks neath winter wool,
The cowboy winds begin to blow,
