Uncouth Answers from the Bottom of the Glass

Me and the darkness and Merle Haggard,

I

put my
scars

she put her
insanity
inside of me,

I

drive
by her house
almost
every night these days
always late
in
the a.m.

me and the darkness and Merle Haggard,

I

have pipe bombs
for emotions
and
they are lit and thrown
ok
they were Black Cats
actually
on sale at the discount
firecracker store
down
near the large blue bridge,

pop, pop, pow,

wake the neighbors
fuck it
speed off and blame it on
Pabst Blue Ribbon
in the can
if I get caught,

me and the darkness and Merle Haggard.
