Bill Blackolive, Son of Texas

There’s a place
I can’t remember
Any place really
But I’ve heard
There’s a place
In Texas
Where my blue eyes
Turned silver
Because of cold
Sinking ships
There’s a place
Really, I can’t remember
A place
But I’ll try
There’s a place in Texas
On the beach
His body is a natural sort
Of muscular
And his skin is yellow
I can’t place the place
Tears muddy my vision
But what a place
That place in Texas
He has a handlebar mustache
Out of place
I know
But in this place
In Texas
He has a handlebar mustache
And visions
At this place
On the beach
In Texas
He smokes a joint
I close my eyes
I see his face
What colors
Can collide
With the memory
Of the place
I see his face
We become the water

adventures in hypertension

Very nice. I've heard of Wild Bill, now I have a much better idea of what he looks like and the kinda person he is and the context he lives in.  
 
Very emotional, also, for you. I like stuff that doesn't hit you over the head, but instead shows you & then lets you think about it. 
 
Only one tiny thought: it's almost as if you have two excellent poems--the first few stanzas, and then another that starts with Wild Bill. I appreciate those opening stanzas are an introduction, but they could stand on their own just fine.

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun!

Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
