MAN ! I LOVE THIS MOJAVE DESERT (by David Stardust)

MAN ! I LOVE THIS MOJAVE DESERT
(by David Stardust)

I like to think of myself
as an old grizzled
desert cowboy--

Riding a pregnant Pinto mare
into the brushland,
the wasteland--
where on one with a lick of sense
would ever go--
especially in the middle of July--

A place of tangled Mesquite
and Creosote
and scorpions almost large
enough to saddle and ride--

Almost a place where time forgot-
with no one but my and me
for miles around...

But then, I've always had
a larger than life
sense of myself
An overblown ego
needing most of the time to simply
get over myself.

I've never even owned a --
I grew up a rich
mostly in Connecticut

But what the heck my friends!

It's been a good rid

The sun scorched my brain a lot
and some people fired a few slugs
over my head--
but all in all,
I did what I always do the best

THAT'S always been
to keep the fire burning,
to stir the pot,
to tell my stories,
and to keep the beans from burning...

There's no doubt in my old skull that you're certainly not a person to ever be preached to.. I love this area for all the stories that fly around here. ... Licking the spoon is pretty good too.. !

Telling your stories and keeping the beans from burning. Two important things in life that are underrated by many. The young especially.
You do well telling your stories and I haven't caught a whiff of burned beans from your direction.
Yet.
cause I thi nk the Life Master employs a Joker to keep thing interesting.


If you see me in the real world, come say "Hi Justskin."

I always behave. Preferably not well.
