headphones

on the internet

and a damn good cover band & fiddle

& come home bob tee-shirt

from minnesota

playing absolutely sweet marie

just as it gets

"to live outside the law you must be honest"

my unsmart phone goes off "unavailable"

as the junk mail flies thru the slot

& the dog starts barking

at the road crew out the window

and i'm not sure

but the dog might need to pee

so we'll head out

to the well trodden frozen path

on a road most traveled

with a song
