WHEN YOU ARE ENGULFED IN FLAMES



I'm Goodwill hunting,

Filthy man hunched over speaks

of living on South.

Knock at the green house,

it seems like no one is home.

I’m called from the dark.

Check your cigarettes,

Oh no, you found all my crack!

Will you let me smoke?

Pretty girl in flannel,

why did you come here knowing

you will be destroyed?


Under the sunset

Lies the highway at earth’s end.

Shatters our windshield.

Drifting off to sleep

To the voice of Sedaris.

Sounds like Betty White.

The city of sin

Glitters in the desert’s dark

But we won’t stop there.

Forced back to my room,

Everyone here has a place,

But I’m just alone.
