Gary is still drunk at the Flee Market
must have been one of those nights
lightning on the horizon
illuminates the dirt on my face
and the river im avoiding
you can take a piss
from here and hit his chicken coop
not even here a scratch
heavvy truck traffic at sunset
for some reason
I doubt ther visitin me
horrible remnants of slobbery
someone was drunk here last night
and I doubt I was involved
1985 heard
gun shots every night
Mike Ryan and the whole goddam mess
to much litter in the yard
our neighbor does not care for
our carelessness
opening my eyes
the cat in the garage wakes me
going through my cans
burning the book in the moonlight,
it has been years since anyone read it
now we know for sure
outside the window she left through
i notice a broken washing machine
and numerous yellow weeds
knocking on the screen door
thunderheads billow behind me
I forget what i came for
at dawn
losing my balance
falling into cellars
Tegan Snyder one time I went over to ol' garys place.
it was around 2:30 in the afternoon.
normally the dogs would bark and attack you.
nothing happened.
got to the door. knock knock. gary?
no response.
gary?
no response.
so i opened the door and walked inside.
normally u wouldn't do this to gary.
just so happens that garys lying on the floor.
seems like someone else is aswell.
i dont know him.
gary is in his usuall suspenders.
quite the fashion.
no realy movement detectable.
must be in a blackout state.
2:30 in the afternoon.
Gary is passed out.
Blacked out.

Tegan Snyder gary is quite the blacksmith.
his drinking doesn't interfere with his ability to maintain.
gary used to be known for his drinkin.
he still is. everyone knows.
sometimes he just wouldn't show up for work.
he works at a machine shop.
he can weld all sorts of things.
pabst blue ribbon can be found in the basement of the machine shop.

gray doesn't drink anymore.
he quit.
everyone knows.
gary is still known for his drinkin.
