In A Rural Texas Town (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



In A Rural Texas Town   (Bussokusekika)

It’s been said before
Do not trust anybody
Here’s a case in point
Someone stole a sleeping bag
Out of my car yesterday
In a rural Texas town

About this poem

But it did not happen in Van Horn…I don’t think they’d steal a $39 sleeping bag but a $250000 ten acre property may be a whole other ball of wax…Who knows???Said figure may be low just like my 160 IQ after a certain secret test…But as far as I’m concerned my property will always be worth 1500 to me…
