poem - never


by dog e relaford



i am just a bunch of atoms
smashing around forever
but i will always love my mama
so never say never

i tried to love everybody
but could never make it work
in the morning i got stuck in the muck
and at night i got lost in the murk

the. sheriff came and got me
and took me to the county jail
the night is as dark as a rainbow
and the stars are growing pale

i asked him for a cup of coffee
and he told me to watch my mouth
the bears are going north
and the birds are flying south

i hope grandma comes to visit
when they open up at dawn
even if i had my mojo
i would put my tuxedo on

i will offer her a donut
though it might be a little stale
custer rides into the sunset
jesse james robs the mail
