There’s a red oak & a pecan tree
In the front yard
With a grey striped cat
Called Benji
The sound of the railroad
Banging ears
When one least expects it
The sound of the highway long in the distance
And here I am Stuck in East Texas
Dogs barking at everything
That they are not used to
And I’m longing for simple peace
In the mountains
I thought I would enjoy this
But I’m not
I’m finding that certain things irritate me
Why?
Because they aren’t as they seemed.
Who likes being lied to?
Yes…
I knew that I would be working but I had forgotten
Dealing with certain individuals would be a pain.
Damn…
I want to go back to Colorado
And never come back to this again.
I should have stayed
And let others deal with whatever.
