Tuesday Night
cornbread crescents perfectly buttered
and blackeyed peas perfectly salted
red chili pepper lights
Dr. Pepper
and you
my transplanted New Yorker wannabe cowboy
tonight we'll walk down North Lamar
in the perfect warm misty air
and then put up our little fake Christmas tree
drink our red wine
and put each other
to bed
Back to the Heart-on-Sleeve Corner
