Dispatches for the Colonial Office
As I was a-walking One Morning for Pleasure –
We See Stories
as We Walk
From “Git Along, Little Dogies”
-American, traditional
The road doesn’t end
here, but something did
In the lonely dark,
with a cigarette and beer
A can of Miller Lite
drained out last night
And a cigarette end,
to mark an end
An end to love, now faded
in the sun
One of each, not
two, an empty man
Going home alone,
stopping here a while
And wondering why his
everything went wrong
The road doesn’t end
here, but something did -
And maybe there’s a
job waiting in Wyoming
