Ballad Of Reverend War Character

Silhouette Jane measures rain in a cracked cup on the sill

In Embry's last photograph he disappears over a hill

Darrell Dotson waits in the grass for a fight

the stars don't shine upon us

we're just in the way of their light

The new girl in Tahoe has swallowed Sinatra's cum

A russian primadonna dances slow on valium

After the game the benchwarmer can't get a ride

in space there is no center

we're always off to the side

John Parker III steps over a bird on a Wall St. window ledge

Little Wilkie finds a dead cat rotting deep inside the hedge

Mahalia Roach dies on a Greyhound coach in July

in a horror movie when the car won't start

you give it one last try

Guinnevere orders one more beer in the smokey pick-up bar

A burnt out tramp by the exit ramp waits for one more car

The Latin teacher always smells like piss

the census figures come out wrong

there's an extra in our midst
