Ryan
I see a boy shade in bucket seats
parked at Walmart
sucking smoke through an apple
his bleached blond crew cut
disappears when he tilts to the right
when he hits and becomes
light                         blowing shotgun
                into my mouth
                                   coring
me at the lips
                          a ditch of
                                      summer corn
                          sticky Mountain Dew
I draw down to my toes
pull with the root of
our breath
                      yes
our breath
baked
in the tricked-out Civic
behind my eyes
                       caramelized
and peeling
out
LMGTFY
My bible isn’t saying anything
about Andy Warhol
or tobacco
but if Andy Warhol chewed tobacco
that would be it
for me.
