Brody’s Blacksmith Shop serves until midnight
and the dirty little taco truck (one town over)
serves tacos to all the drunks
until the drunks decide
sex is an option.
I brought him whiskey to the next event:
oral sex behind the old Lake City Theatre.
I stared at the old English letters with each
nod of my head
and I wondered:
drinking that much all the time
will kill you –
guess he thinks
he’s too good for dying, too.
