BEAUTY
Naked in repose
Silvery silhouette girls
Adorn my mudflaps


REMORSE
A painful sadness
Can't fit big screen TV through
Double-wide's front door


OPTIONS
Unemployment's out.
Hey, maybe I can git on
Disability


BLAZE
Distant siren screams
Dumb-ass Verne's been mowing with
Gasoline again


A NEW MOON
Flashlights pierce darkness
No nightcrawlers to be found
Guess we'll gig some frogs


EXUBERANCE
Joyous, playful, bright
Trailer park girl rolls in puddle
Of old motor oil


ALONE
Seeking solitude
Carl's ex-wife Tammy files for
Restraining order


DESIRE
Damn, in that tube-top
You make me almost forget
That you're my cousin


HATRED
I curse the rainbow
Emblazoned upon his hood
Damn Jeff Gordon


DRAMA
Set the VCR
Dukes of Hazzard Marathon
Starts at 9 O'Clock


DEPRIVED
In WalMart toy aisle
Wailing boy wants rasslin' doll
Mama whups his ass


NO SIGNAL
White noise, buzzing static
Call Earl; the satellite dish
needs new descrambler


IMPOUNDED
Sixty-five dollars
And cyclone fence keeps me from
My El Camino


GATHERING
In early morning mist
Mama searches Circle K for
Moon Pies and Red Man


PRIDE
Grinning, he displays
The nine hundred beer cans that
Fill his pickup bed
