Charlie was a wild mustang,
thin as a wheat stalk,
chaw-brown teeth,
skin the leather of his ancient boots,
bought when farmin\u2019 was good,
before they up and legalized it.
Proudly flexin\u2019 his mullet,
now streaked with grey,
and a dull-razor beard.
Most nights found him
at Dottie’s Corrral,
a place of frugal lightin\u2019
and cigarette smog,
with a Daisy Duke waitress
who would slap your face
if you didn’t mind your manners.
Charlie sportin\u2019 his Walmart stetson,
nursin\u2019 his beer into the next millennium.
Cheap Ass.
Thought he was God’s Gift,
trollin\u2019 most nights,
tryin\u2019 to entice a woman
to his single-wide.
Seems he could only get
bony-assed chicks
in sequined jeans,
with clickin\u2019 dentures
and blue prison tats,
perfumed by cigarettes and sage,
lipstick red as fresh blood,
poofed hair, lookin\u2019 all the world
like Tammy Wynette on meth.
But not so bad for
the price of a couple Schlitz.
At the trailer, the coupled
like a pair of alley dogs.
Next mornin\u2019 she wants to cuddle
like he’s her Old Man,
but all Charlie’s thinkin\u2019 is
about changin\u2019 the oil in the pickup
before it’s too damn hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love on the free range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
