Depot Dog

Conflict brimming for no reason Trudging thru the changing season Lately the leaves are burning golden Like the shimmer in the corner of your eyelid A throat full of skipping stones Lately lonely, but not alone Windows down cajun music Playin' on the bluetooth radio And Andy always wears Their honesty so well I'm gonna leave inspired I'm wearing evening clothes to a matinee show I am scrambling and exposed Moving backwards and up close Surveilled with nowhere to go Like a bug stuck on a car rearview camera I'll put the piles in their place We'll wake to see another day Somewhere bright and warm and safe A thing of legend like a hot dog from Home Depot Unlikely truth like a hot dog from Home Depot Against all odds like a hot dog from Home Depot
