when discovered Townes,we too were going out on the highway to
listen to them big trucks whine, hoping that our ramblings through
Canada in a borrowed sedan would show us what we meant to
each other. To the world.
when he married his first wife, she was 21 and not expecting
her new husband to spend their honeymoon locked in her shoe closet
writing what would become waiting around to die
when you called me, I was 21 and not expecting we’d ever speak again after
you took someone else on that same long drive to Toronto. But here
we are listening to him Live at the Old Quarter, Houston,
weaving through the hills of West Virginia
Pancho and Lefty singing our own Fraternity Blues
Somehow addicted to you the way he was addicted to
the airplane glue that sealed all his teeth together before
they cracked them apart with a ball-pin hammer
If I needed you
would you come to me
would you come to me and ease my pain?
