I dance with my shoulders
ankles knocking in cracked cowboy booted reverie

forelock and cigarette employing devil-may-care gravity
I squint with one eye
the other blue gas jet mesmerizing those who tarry
who disbelieve at first
those who don't take into consideration the too comfortable mix of flea market cedar and salt water taffy as cologne

I speak overconfidently
loud when I talk about nothing, loud when my words fall as rhinestones
soft when I take your hand a twirl you round the floor
staring at pale flowers around your hem
I speak overwhelmingly
when I whisper my affections
inconveniently pressed to you when the band plays a faded rendition of Delta Dawn

Lost in this movie
head tilted dog-like-sweet and mountebank-certain
gum-snapping,trinket-winning carnival courtship bound,marble-filled-mouth persuasions

how can you stand
to not hold my hand?
I'll loosen my tie and fold my game
when the rides and the tents are folded up the same

Snakebite and straw hat serious...
