Dodge City Poem by Jean Bernard Parr

Dodge City



how easy to choose
fixing a lawnmower
than finish something
you started
how easier to undo
those air filter screws
than to get the paper ball
out of the basket, press
undo, but then theres
the reckoning
rewriting is harder
than gunplay in a
Clint Eastwood movie
you know you gotta go back
in through those batwing doors
leave lawnmowers to townfolk
scattering down sidewalks
then spur-jingled step
in the creak-boarded saloon
"I had to come back"
and he will say
"I know"
we didn't come here to talk
