(Ponderosa at Slim's in Raleigh, NC)
wearing a brown leather vest
over a white blouse, blue jeans
over boots of Spanish leather, wants
to dance and she's standing next to me --
blue eyes, blonde hair, not too skinny, beautiful,
really, and she's drunk. But she's with the dude next to me,
wearing a black-leather jacket and hair
as blonde and long as her hair, douchebag. Not inconsequential,
the music this band plays only sounds better,
the psychedelic stuff sounding like a lost journey
somewhere on Highway 17 through South
Carolina, the country stuff sounding like an innocent
love, suddenly turning not-so innocent and the rock
stuff just sounding like manhood in full -- the most
beautiful woman in town, dark lights, loud American
music are too much for one night, one more PBR
and a bus ride home, please.
