How the West was Done

Broncos bucked up.
Rattled rangeless restless
For 24 days now.

Cowboys gone awry.
Drunk in their sheets.

Shooting out windows
Instead of black hats.
Divining honor in
Hoop skirts.
Belching sarsaparilla 
Soaked six shooters.

Go West young man?

No.

Sorry. 

Invest young man. 
Get blessed young man. 
Get dressed young man. 

Distressed ghost towns 
Remain inflections

Calico ribboned echoes 
of
Freedom's hyena laugh &
Liberty's lonesome howl.
