TURNIN’ POINT
“All you need to do
is swallow.” Josh Johnson
waiting for
something to push
an envelope
must have come
to the wrong place
basic chords, I presume
the guitars
are
in tune
(not a lick, not a riff,
not a whiff of the blues)
paint drying slower to not
show up anything
and free speech put
to the test here, yes sireee,
twangibg lyrics that sink
to the bottom
of the bottle
giving dregs
a new name
and these
the musical
airs and graces need
to send out to, show
the world
the deepest metaphors
of the tribe imaginable
would
tie up
with a ribbon, present
you myself
but the truck got stuck
truck got stuck
