Scattered, Smothered and Covered.

Driving south,

Hawley's Island, South Carolina.

Sweet Palmetto minarets

swaying like a nightgown skirt

under a Ramadan state flag moon.

Black Dog and (She's so heavy)

are singing through the Georgia woods.

Roll up on Heavy's Bar-B-Q

off the Crawfordville exit,

brunswick stew breakfast

and napkins of bleached white bread.

Around Rock Eagle,

I found where I could get my deer processed

and was asked if I accepted Jesus

every quarter mile.

In the South I just love

driving around and around,

dabbling in depression,

and some boiled peanuts.

Hey, honey...

I'll take my highway

scattered, smothered and covered

with some a glass of sweet tea.
