Bar Hop Beliefs

The field spread out before him a disgusting mix of colors intertwined and mating

Mixed and sexual red of the street light mocking, promising

A felt feeling that never comes

A meant meaning that never feels

Yet he felt and felt until his veins fled the bleeding

Frightened by their own circular work


And he felt that it was momentary and forever

And he knew that the stop light held st benedicts thoughts

And he thought he knew it all, the Guinness, the Indian girl

It all made sense in his system

But it left out tomorrows thanksgiving

The sitting around a bird industrial farmed for commercial interests pure and puerile

A cold rejoinder to pretensions and tortured ethic racks


He took a small breath and bit

His smoky thought containing and obscuring dreams of her that never eased and always burned atop his minds fuel

Tire fire observed and observing by the heat of the blaze distorting faces in the glow

Fret and frer and flame atop his ever burning thoughts
