I’m not a fan of introductions to literature.  I figure the piece  ought to speak for itself, but I want to offer a kind of apology for this one.  I tried some 12 step meetings, even led a co-morbidity group for addicted mentally ill folks like me, but my needs and culture never meshed well, and here is some cheap revenge.

Marathon around hour 10 or 11

RU BRAGGIN’ er COMPLAININ’ ?

You got so drunk you smashed your daddy’s pickup…

classic hubs and custom gunrack

waxed and polished every Sunday

stainless toolbox in the back

stars and bars on the license plate

…through the front of the Wyn Dixie..

giant slushies two bucks

live bait and licenses

“Make America Great Again” hats

on the shelf with the

“all lives matter, asshole” t shirts

…. and damn near killed Sam, the clerk…

forty stitches and two steel pins

….. and put a scar on your best girl;s left tit…

Under the death;s head skull

boy, she was royally pissed..

… and walked five and a quarter miles on a broken leg ….

charged with leaving the scene

thewn in the pokey

the judge, Uncle Earnie was pissed

…. got this scar..

and lost my job

and my left nut

but that was in the fight with the depity sherrif

and not technically in the crash.

Trust me, you don’t want to see

…. 6 months and a fine..

….. and will you sign that I made the meeting today?

I wrote this for week 10, 11 or 12 and never posted it correctly. Thought I ought to at least get it posted someplace and fix it up later…..
