Pro life chop shops
sanctity botched
chain your baby makers
inspect your baby’s crotch 
laws ban
lives hang
hangers wrought and bought
the worst of how we’re natured

belts
you’re just another notch

fit in
or sin
resisting a rest
existing erased
pop up chop shops
for furl of brow and fraught 
the worst of how we’re natured

belts
you’re just another notch

The Moment

There’s a magic to the moment when
you’re alone at night and a song drifts in,
playing soft and sweet 
in the still of the midnight air. 

Then whatever the day dealt fades away,
and you just let go of the things they say
as the music takes you in 
through a lonely stare. 

They say that the best things in life are free
and at times like this, yeah I must agree. 
Makes me wish somehow 
I could just stay in this space.  

For life is nothing but ups and downs
so tonight, I’ll just enjoy the sound
for tomorrow…
I guess it’s back to the old rat race.


Hank

Where I grew up; Texas 
Country music is king
Three songs for a quarter
And the Juke Box would sing

When it’s Saturday night
It’s Grand Old Opry time
Turn the radio on
Grab a chair and recline

Hank was the top singer
His songs came from the heart
So much great music lost
Because his life was short

No other then or since
Composed song after song
Could sing and record them
Each a hit before long

His music inspired 
Learned a Uke; then Guitar
To play and sing like Hank
His music took me far 

Now I have my own band
Bluegrass most of the time
Still play one of Hanks songs
They always sound so fine

I still love his music
Play and sing all his hits
Thank you Hank Williams
You’re as good as it gets
