Poems by David S. Pointer

Nashville Punk Scene

Decades & dues before Hank III
cometh with his thermo-chemical
cow punk, Jason & the Scorchers
rolled onto Rock City like a barrel
keg cool­er bran­dish­ing neon notes
to Nashville’s con­ser­v­a­tive music
estab­lish­ment stomp­ing Punk’s
Lib­er­ty Bell hell into the plastered
beer torn psyche’s of unfuturistic
fans who would trans­form the
audi­ence of bat­tle­ground cowboys
into plum tart glad­i­a­tors and the
rest of the good timin’ globe going
for­ward with ear­ly colony cocktails
and the best new nuclear chemistry
a hot cock­tail wait­ress could carry

Off The Farm

The com­put­er
became the global
moneychanger’s
milk­ing stool, but
grand­pa still
trans­port­ed his
customer’s early
colony cocktails
down moss
moun­tain in a
'47 Studebaker
pick­up on a
stretch of dark-
prim­i­tive dirt,
a fire­place tool,
and a .45 riding
bitch and shotgun
