I was arguing / with the scarecrow.

Legend has it that Charlie Chaplin placed third
in a Charlie Chaplin Look-Alike Contest. Now

You can’t remember if it was over-water
and I ain’t afraid to use it. My therapist
says trauma is stored in the hips
and I replied that’s why I have this overflowing dump
truck. I’ll hit a stray
parking-lot-abandoned grocery cart with my hip
into the metal corral cuz ya’ll don’t have the juicy gluts
to walk ten feet.
