Pulaski & The Great Switcherroo
~~~
Pulaski was hitch-hiking but mostly hiking
walking & walking some more, stalking the end
of another endless highway
in the parched desert of his particular dreams ~
~
He found someone doing the same damn thing
more or less but in the opposite direction
they met for some damn reason on the island
between lanes & the other feller fired one up ~
~
Oh brother oh brother let me tell you
another tall one not too accurately true
it’s fine & dandy finding ye in the middle of no-where
wind blasting, sun growing long our kinky knotty hair ~
~
Two lonesome wanderers of the wasteland
they departed each others company
high & happy, each heading back the way he came
their goals receding behind them in the great switcherroo…
