Cantina

Small town bar

whiskey and beer

and pool

bad yet good country spewing

from the juke

and forget the bullshit

the fucking news on your phone

the updates

and compulsion

the sad state of affairs

pervasive

sitting here buzzed

high as a giraffe's pussy

the next game breaks and I think

about Europe

or the feeling of Europe

or Europa

or who knows fuck

who cares

sophisticates

theorists

feminists

all of it can fuck straight off

in a house fire

none of them would exist

existing in flame is raw strength

but keep everything equal and careful

and dogshit safe

lest you offend

the ugly

progressives

but tonight's not about

those weak motherfuckers

not about Isis

or Trump

or Jenner

or whatever media

darling dominates

let's get back to love

to life

without a screen.

Tits and ass

and sunlight.

Shining through heart.

the world is

but a pulse

with shaved legs

and atrophy

and white beards

remembering glory.

All of us here now

waiting in flames.
