Untitled (Jim & Joshua)


Untitled (Jim & Joshua)

They told me I’d get a country-fried steak
If I just sat still beside him.  Pancake
Sliced, tenderized, battered and fried,
Smothered in gravy.  So good I’ll need
The cigarette before I said to Ma. But
The Rooster came from uncle’s flock.
Jim (the rooster), Joshua (me), two
Polygamous kings of the roost,
Stealing a stare, perched atop the world.
