Waiting for Marty |
| Bourbon soda over ice, in the basement shade |
| Got it made, no one here, just the beer man’s dog |
| Howling at the moon heat gnawing on a bone |
| Waiting for marty to get home |
| Marty’s in the bath house yanking out the gray |
| Getting older ain’t a party it’s a good damn play |
| No wonder dogs howl. |
| they can see the rider coming |
| Waiting for marty to get home |
| Used to be a girl then a woman then nothing |
| The quilt is in the corner by the oak console |
| The phone rings once a day just like a daughter |
| Waiting for marty to get home |
| Blend in with the city and the watering hole |
| Doesn’t talk he wants to think but he can’t anymore |
| The basement game is over. |
| there’s food left in the fridge |
| Waiting for marty to get home |
| The milk man doesn’t stop here and the bone is chewed to bits |
| Stack of mail and old newspapers in the overgown yard |
| The light bulb on the back porch takes it’s last breath |
| Waiting for marty to get home |
