Night Patrol

night patrol (part of my summer job)

---

midnight piss
old man and bear
meet
behind the
trailer

*

lonely coyote
sits in the parade ground
yips once
trots off

*

in the fog
the harbor bell
tells me
"get a life"
i flip it off
and drive on

*

picking up trash
i dump whiskey
on my pants
breathe in the fumes
and laugh

*

my headlights pick out
a late goose crossing
the highway

i hate geese -
walking bags of shit
with attitude

i step slowly on
the brake but think
about the gas pedal

*

sillouette
on the tent wall

oh, desire
