He wore his sleeves
as if they were dimes
passing through his corduroy pockets
meaning to pass time
with an older merchant
who he will soon come to pass

His hair was a bit rugged
curls through whirls
riding the great canyons
as if they were swirls
in the skies great canvass
raptures opening
continuously stacking over one another

The boys a dreamer
he rides through the Alabama dirt roads
with a picture in his mind
of a beautiful brunette named Serena
chatting away at his backbone
like they had seen each others eyes before
but rather come to an impasse
of whether it was time to say hello
or merely wait until
a more forgiving lazy Sunday to appear

His brown, ankle high boots
levi jeans at the tongue of them
with his white tee
riding freely over his tan shaded belt

This boys dreaming through the countryside
maybe the air will let him stay younger for a bit longer
but time isn't always going to be on his side

Dreaming of the big lights
just past the milky way
that he stares at every night
he dreams until the eggs and bacon
waft through his room by the morning light
his mind always racing towards the city lights
Bama' always tugging at his heart.

Your poem was was kind of like reading a bit of American nostalgia. Very detailed. Very picturesque. Enjoyed!
