I drove over the fat rope thing that made the bells ding and ling and then this grease mon­key appeared at my open win­dow, wear­ing braid­ed pony­tail with his Speed Rac­er eyes, bran­dish­ing a tat­tered broach rag thing he whipped about like … Con­tin­ue read­ing →

Poems by Dennis Mahagin

Posted on August 19, 2011 by Rusty

Blues For Bil­ly C I'm used to being fucked but it's not what you think; flip me a cou­ple bucks? I won't trip, I don't drink. A show­er of vio­let misty steam feels good. Costs four bucks at Pilot truck­stop banya cedar­wood. It's cool in the morn­ing … Con­tin­ue read­ing →
