I remember it was late at night
I was with
Johnny Appleseed’s younger brother
Bruce

Set on vibrate
Who’d bought a 10-gallon hat once
But h

You had to put up with
Sunday drivers
You had to love children
All children, all of them!
This is what it took to be God

I wonder who ate the rest?

It’s good to get fucked in the back seat of a power boat on a river in the hot summer air
With the mosquitos sucking the life out of you
It’s good to get fucked with your bare back rubbing up against the rou

Some maid from the past
Must have started up our
Dust buster on its own
Startling me to no end

When it just started up
She must have been trying to tell us something
