they're all from tucson

StartI'd take a hat over a heart

If either come December

If i could see you dragged off

by the law again

this time i'd ride with

laugh & laugh as you talk shit

fume for the truth of it

but remain silent

                    shrieks and yips from the wild mouth of a coyote only

                    will i allow to speak for me so that my own jaws might rest

all they know is bite

and biting they have torn

into everyone around

only the howl

escaped from the desert

and forced back

     unlucky to survive

                   this time

                      this time
