Big sheets full of carbonated water
Lizards out on the deck
Let me tell you about it
There was this dude and he would ride
From town to town
Each town he went to he killed
All of the passenger pigeons
He went to each town until there
Were no passenger pigeons left
And a young girl asked him why he
Did this and he told her it was
Because it put a twinkle in his eye
The girl told him, “I bet you can’t kill
Every Carolina parakeet.” The dude asked
The girl why she would challenge him
So and the girl replied, “It puts a wart
On my gourd.”
Stoned and all alone
Somewhere in rural Kentucky
Spring of 1995
Crawdads, bullfrogs, deer, horses, trees,
Gravel roads, ponds, hills, stars at night
Pioneers landed
Fought Indians
Ate nuts, berries, leather, each other
