There are bodies
of water
in Arkansas
(springs. creeks. pools)
that touch skin
so completely
the body leaves the mind
You can drink
directly from
the tap,
(in Little Rock)
until your cup
overflows repeatedly
It is better than wine
Everyone knew
about the hole in my pocket
I planted that seed
first chance I got
But no one saw it coming
when I pinched out my cigarette,
right after that I declared
there’s an obvious lack of ashtrays
and I would NEVER
toss my butt on the ground…
so I’m just gonna put
this right
here.
