AM<\/p>\n
In the panhandle of Texas
\nyou can forget FM.
\nThe world is flat here.
\nPeople stick Cadillacs
\nin the sand as an art joke.<\/p>\n
Two o’clock in the AM
\nsignals bounce off the ozone\u00e2\u20ac\u201d
\nChicago,\u00c2\u00a0 Nashville,\u00c2\u00a0 Del Rio:
\nA blizzard buries
\nthe Grand Ole Opry,
\nbut Jesus rises,
\nSaving and Healing
\nfor Postage and Handling.<\/p>\n
Four.\u00c2\u00a0 An accordion plays
\npolka and static.
\nStopped, the desert is as huge
\nas the hiss of my piss
\non the ground.
\nHad a friend once
\non speed who saw
\na 40 foot cowboy
\nstriding toward him
\ndown the highway,
\nover his car
\nand into his
\nrearview mirror.<\/p>\n
Maybe it’s that cowboy
\non the accordion,
\nhis own broadcast tower.
\nMaybe it’s him
\nwho can tell me
\nwhat in hell I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m doing here.
\nMaybe it’s him
\nwho’s playing “Nola”
\nfor all these stars.<\/p>\n
