Love in the City of Austin, Texas

Austin was our city for a few tantalizin'
agonizin' months
we toughed it out in our tiny one room apartment
on North Lamar
with my art thumbtacked to the walls
and the constant trips to the used record shop
dinner at Chuy's
Friday night billiards and buffalo wings
trips to Target
and the occasional mad Dave & Buster's spree
we were very poor
and disillusioned
city love was hard
we resented the Westlake Yuppie Population
especially when I applied for all those
nanny/housekeeper positions
the greenbelts were crowded with insane bikers
and the traffic was brain numbing
Sixth Street was mediocre
but we were together, finally
and that was almost
sufficient.
