In Indiana there were

so many deer carcasses

& Arby signs off

the highway

can you see that

water tower beyond

those skeletons for trees

& what does its name mean

we haven’t listened

to an entire record yet

but it’s fun talking

about our first shows

there’s two kids in a field

ahead of us

they are pretending to kill

each other

youth is for learning to kill

without consequences

there’s rarely blood

when we use our hands

as guns
