Rain, wool pants and the last cigar catching raindrops on my sox and a buzz in my ear. Headed for the mountains and lakes first to cut down some mighty trees and roll some weeds.

Jack found him in the creek. Bishop swore he had seen a flock of Peacocks walk by. Jack said they were only Blue Grouse. Bishop said, you should have knocked them off, they have plenty of meat on the bone. Jack started the sermon off loud. The megaphone turned up. Bishop was down, wrestling with the creek bottom, the lash of the spruce, rumbling with the thunder, the creeks caught in his years, walking trails he had better forget. Bishop was coming back. Jack was on a roll. It was unlikely they would ever get their shit together, and head down the road in the same direction.
He's become comfortable
in that
ol' civil war jacket.
What would compliment
that mess of hair?
A sage cigarette,
a bottle in his hand
and a book in his pocket.
A hobo at heart
a drunk by night
and a rambling pain.
Tired and old
before his time.
Studying the greats
Bukowski, Tom Waits
William S. Burroughs
and Hunter S. Thompson,
Kerouac and John Steinbeck.
Drinking Brandy
and Cockspur rum
from the bottle.
Hiding down South
for the winter months
running from the cold
and consequence.
