                                  Ghosts are Following You

Even the road seems tired and out of time
A metaphor in need of end-of-life care
A cratered surface, an encroaching weedy verge
And darkling caves of Texas gothic trees

A JESUS LOVES YOU sign along the way
A peeling painted cross in worn-out white
DALLAS COWBOYS in fading blue, THIS IS TRUMP COUNTRY
Fading, fading, all fading, and fading more

All of this in need of end-of-life care
Even the road seems tired and out of time
