sweet sweet sally
she who is so so sweet
after he had been hanging with his friends some of whom were going to altamaha technical college some of whom were going down the road to georgia southern some headed off to the university most just hanging around trying to find jobs maybe a little logging maybe a little farming
hanging around lying about the good old days
hanging out down in the clearing out by the river just outside of town cars trucks pulled up and off into the dark an old tire burning low its rubbery fuel melting into flame its steel belt sparkling molten red before turning a dull dull black
just a bunch of boys with beers and joints
kicking the tire every now and then
sparks sailing up into the darkness framing their faces the scraggly growth on their cheeks and chin their shaggy frizzy stringy bushy hair some held in place by a hat a cap sporting the wayne county yellow jacket or some sort of tractor or chewing tobacco some just flying free along with their freak flag
most wearing tee shirts everyone of them wearing jeans
most of those levis
passing joints sipping something talking story
