1.
Only the panty hose is left
balled in the non-drawer.
The strangler long gone.
2.
I think gold rush, overnight
boom, rapid expansion,
until the mines are vacated,
the horses left for dead.
3.
There used to be shoot-outs,
filthy boots kicking,
caked with mud & shit.
It’s a fucking ghost town,
windows sutured shut.
Now I am the sheriff
& nothing ever happens.
