"I can smell the river from here"
is always a hit and miss comment
in the ground cracking heat of Summer
along the Allegheny.
I'm pretty sure
the only thing that is going to take that taste
out of my mouth
is a healthy dose of clear skied night above
anywhere we can find inland and not carding
because I will be a son of a bitch
if you think I am
going to pay for a red cup
at some hack operation.
