The Geriatric Cosmic Casino Bus in a McDonald’s Parking Lot
A space casino painted on its sides
Its airbrakes hissing and spitting against the wheels
The charter bus clanks to a potty stop
Its hatches open to discharge aliens
Optimistically rattling their walkers
And dragging their oxygen machines along
Spongy shoes challenged by the parking lot
Knobby white knees all rattling through the dawn
The moustache in his cool gas-station shades
Admires himself in his big West Coast mirror
(Casino gambling is illegal in Texas, thus the fleets of charter busses zooming to the Louisiana border.)
