stealing booty arti-
fact oats from a
cut-up maybe's micro buy-one
brain cache is like abhorring a
clashing washboard
knight in your weird new
beer view mirror
Upward washboard
Washcloth without
Waybill uphill
Workplace, without
Washcloth wipeout
Washboard Upward

The Washer Woman in Canyonlands
An old woman laments
of her daily chores,
the stinging lye soap
and a biting washboard.
With knuckles bleeding
into the day’s dirty water,
she sighs and prays
for a better tomorrow.
The road is not the best
it is close to not at all.
Just when you think
you've had enough of this
washboard, potholed
ribbon of hell.
The fire weeds that edge
the roadway
capture your curiosity
with rich abundance
of dancing colors.
Washboard and spoons
Guitar and drums
Accordion
Getting together
With the band
A moment not about skin
But about soul
A party not about race
But about rhythm
Take a stand
(or perhaps a dance)
Against hate
Yell a little
Prance a little
Live, love a lot
Making music
While joining hands
Years of washing,
yet the stains won't fade;
Washboard worn,
My fingers,
Bleed.
A cleansing of my soul,
is maybe what I need.
Bits of metal,
chips of wood;
years of washing,
yet still,
misunderstood...
Years of washing,
Yet the Stains won't fade;
Alone, unclean;
Feeling betrayed...
Years of washing,
the Stains,
won't fade;
Ready for the reaper,
Suit, Tie,
Decay...
