Tow Rope
Bobby: For an early spring, the
lazy-hazy-bluesy-windy-but-warm
streets look eerily deserted. Choose.
Bob: A national boozy curfew
or the aftermath of Saturday Night Live
or all greenback hell broke loose.
Bobby: Which came first:
the absence of coke or the presence of thirst;
and of bumps, speed or goose?
Bob: Or, as the (wiper-turned-)vipers assert,
the resurrection of a Hyundai tow rope
as a hangman’s noose.
