The Pony

Marfa, Texas

Thin with a pink coat

And a tall straw hat

Howls from 

your mic check 

turn the chatter 

down low

A real songwriter

And an orange capped 

jam partner

The clatter from

Your harp rack

Changing notes

In the mic –

Best sound

Of the night

Yips like Vile 

But less self-indulgent

Dogs runninโ€™ – 

decoys for conversation

The pink jacket comes off

Smells like HAY

โ€œThis kid is good.

Heโ€™s the real deal.โ€ 

โ€œWhat are you writinโ€™ about?!โ€

โ€œRYAN SAMBOLโ€

And he says,

โ€œIโ€™m tryinโ€™ to use this loop pedal

But Iโ€™ll just do another song.

Iโ€™m in a bad spot.โ€

Cโ€™mon Connie!
