    Frayed Page Soaked in Rain

    In the beginning with this road fever
    silver rose for a brief gaudy hour
    on the peaks with this frayed page
    we parked at the graveyard.

    Mugged out summer night
    Cody at the wheel
    Sweating on the road
    in this cool scene
    on the moonlit avenue.

    Raw, exotic artistry
    illiterate poetics at dawn
    remember her head on my lap.
    Platonic blow job
    just making things go right.

    This is my extra special
    double album of myth.
    These are the poems
    archetypes of my life.

    We spent the summer nights
    naked, crazy
    ceiling fans.

    In the rain at dark
    freshly mowed grass on our feet.
    The night is somehow chilly for June
    out of town
    out in the pines.

    Thanks for bumping this. It's a poem that needs a wider audience.

    I remember that Dylan scholar Stephan Pickering singled it out for
    praise in his planned intro to your book.

    Why haven't you died slowly and painfully of cancer yet, Dunce?

    If, during my absence, you've started to die slowly and painfully of
    cancer, I'll withdraw the above comment, and start celebrating instead.
