Just sharing another poem, "Fight Me in the Waffle House Parking Lot at Dawn," first published by The Daily Drunk. Many thanks to them.
As I say before I read the poem, this came to me while I was on cold medicine and was awake at maybe three a.m. and this little critter just showed up. I really like it.
Oh, and the onion rings line? Like someone taking out their earrings for a fight, right?
I'm not one for violence, but I will fight for art. And love. :-)
A truck drove past right as I was in the middle of recording, and I decided to keep the sound in. Why not?
Fight Me in the Waffle House Parking Lot at Dawn
Fight me in the Waffle House parking lot at dawn.
Take out your onion rings
and hand them to your bestie
except, no onion rings here.
You can’t handle
The Roof
wrapped in paper napkins.
Shadow box four rounds
or line dance your way
back to town.
Go inside,
pick a spot at the counter
and perform Americana.
Norman Rockwell will see you now.
Psst…I kinda like this little freak.
