dark and quiet (38)

the dastardly bastards
overheat in McFarland,
need’a find a free faucet
to cool their hot ride.

the new highway
slices the old town in half.
Bobby slices the buttons
off a gas station attendant

who told him air and water
were for customers only.
Smith added his signature,
pissed on all the candy bars,

that he didn’t steal, left
the kid to bleed in the toilet.
they laughed all the way
to Delano, even stopped

their bitchin’ bout the radio,
cuz one said he don’t care
for jungle boogie crap and the
other one spits on hillbilly shit.
Bouncin’ on the seat
and kickin’ candy wrappers
on the floorboards of the truck
when they crawl into Teviston.

-it’s that one on the left
 by the barrel. kill the lights
 we come in dark and quiet.
-ok Flash. you do the dark, 

 I’ll do the quiet.
