If I Was A Horse... In '72 a first louiepinned me with a truck against a tank Looking down in horror my shin bone was sticking out tabasco red blood pumping in spurts tourniquet and then shock Steel-pinned for life I'm fun in airports never carry when traveling with me In '73 f.n.g. in the motor pool (fucking new guy) pushed a 700 lb. howitzer radiator onto the same foot After my army mishaps 25 years later I step through a rotten roof while rebuilding a chimney Splinters and left foot swollen in hooker mascara colors ice, vodka/7 con limon for pain and thirst Ankle swells like a grapefruit everyday everynight throb going for an ultrasound soon must be pregnant I thought it was only the clap. |

The voices from all over earth come through a little radio. 35 people dead in Jerusalem, so far. The fog rolls in over Scotland, elections coming in England, devolution in a fortnight. Races in Monte Carlo, Sean Connery on the front page. Building collapses, crashing onto a wedding in the City of David. More dead being dug out. 51 dead found in graves in Russia. Oklahoma bomber of 168 dead to die. Macedonia minus Alexander battles Albania. Beirut against Israel. Japanese lepers apologized to. Wow! What a world! I sit in my basement and smoke a cigar and thank God and ask why? |
