it must be warmer there
eagles fanning the heat down
giant electric fans
circling the sky
flagging down the sun
turquoise eyes in a brown face
turtles crossing the road
too hot for slow feet
cold feet on the back of a chair
whiskey-n-wimin
fair weather for bachelors
hog tying one at the rodeo
rodeo drive style
fair weather friends abound
one tied a knot round my finger
one asked for hashishhhhhhhhhhh...
kicking the chair back
hat over brow
eyes where his ears are
it's rough but they take
what they want
when they see something they like
not shy about it
swatting flies
standing next to a line-up
chorus girls suddenly look like
hamsters in cages and heifers on milk row
lined up, all backsides
whistle between his fingers
never thought that boy could ride
like me
the way i ride a bull
the way i whip a lash
the way i tie their tongues and feet
into knots
tripping down the alley in the barn
hanging over a stall
where slow feet find sanctuary from vows
cold feet at home with the cows
sweat coming off of the wings
