I fished alone
On hot aluminum,
blinded with sun
I never caught a thing,
fishing alone
I watched the sisters,
braces and bathing suits
Horse flies and cat tags
They don't remember,
swimming alone
I fired a gun
into a bullet trap
Down in the basement
Next to the mom's shelter We did not know
I spilled my hand
To hold a family
It smells like men
Scotch ice and chlorophyll
Women gone on
And left a basset hound
Sleeping alone
