It rained yesterday in the dessert
I went to the gas station
which is adobe
to buy cigarettes.

There were two men
sitting outside on the concrete
by the payphone
nodding to people walking in.

They had sporty '80's coats on
one had a dog
one had a green bag
both had beards.

skin starched shoes stained
cracky cracky cracky
mellow eyes red tears
all the love for a dime.

The rain made this dry land smell tinny
coppery, fresh and sloshy
I heard thunder in the morning
and a train whistle thru thick grey dawn.
