almost cheated

almost cheated on ya once albuquerque
climbed a pile of rock
in the desert
shortly after the divorce
looked out over you
my city
and thought longingly of vegas phoenix
los
angeles
debated the matter
contemplated rising from the ashes in
some other
zip code
like
the movie star
i'd never be
travel another road
maybe
but you and me
made up
as soon as i decided to leave god alone
pull the the plug on the self-pity
(self-defeating anyway)
get myself laid again
and call it a day
