Book Tour, Barbed Wire Books, Cheyenne, WY

the polka dot skirt
& white ribbed
crew socks
brought her 
to my attention

before i knew it
she was 
crewing off 
a good portion
of my boiled ass,

my son 
will not stop reciting 
your dumb, drunken
anti-u.s. of a
fleabag poetry

i signed a copy 
of my book
& handed it to her

not to worry
i said,
this one is more
blasphemous
than drunk.
