always warned me
against the horses
said grampa couldn't
stop
that was the
lesser of her dad's
vices
the other was
his ability
to get a chapped ass
from all the bar stools
that's what finally got 'im
(liver just had enough)
I was in the
room the moment he
exhaled for that
final time
and everyone
says
his soul went
straight
for me
now
I've never cared much
for horses
but everyone
says
his soul went
straight
for me
I just hope my liver can take it
