TEXAS (it's all big)

My hands in my pockets
Walking down the tracks
Kicking a can a tuna
That never once kicked me back
I wish I could feel
The right soil beneath my feet
Daddy never bought me any shoes

Momma died one night neath the Texas moon
She’d been singing the good ole Misty Blues
I just don’t think it would be right
If I didn’t help you cock your harpoon

Fishing is my fantasy
While my toes are sucked by Aunty Bee
You always did like bigger things
Like scanning dust on angel’s wings
You do my whaling just for me

I wish I was your biggest catch
I’d even play a little fetch
And be curled beneath your toes
Watching Saturday mornin’ fishing shows
I want to be the soil beneath your feet
Just shoot me and make my life complete

I won't pretend it makes much sense to me,, but it is imaginative and original... just like it's author.

Walt~
The soul of the poet -
has worn holes in his soles
walking across our hearts with such
delightful renders.

'Fishing is my fantasy
While my toes are sucked by Aunty Bee'


Love that one !
