tourism porposal
by Jason Ashbaugh

A 3/4 ton Ford
two tone
red on top
white on the bottom
and three guys
one passed out
in the middle of the cab
one pissing
with his back to you
one bending down
reaching into an ice chest
sitting in the gravel
smoke rolls out the windows
all of this
pulled up and parked
in front of a cattle guard
maybe ten or so cows
in a bland yellow pasture
little tin barn to the right
and above it all
on the left
up in the sky
in a bold script
DISCOVER OKLAHOMA!
Jason just found out that dusty bibles lead to dirty lives.
