take a picture with iPhone
lighter dangles in one hand
cigarette holder in the other
as he reclines
against tree trunk
banded cowboy hat
leather vest
white shirt
open at the chest
handkerchief around neck
he’s impossibly sleeping
white pants and cowboy boots
long stringy hair
patchy beard
aviator sunglasses
where did he come from?
this time traveler from the old west
this is not a costume
he wears these clothes like a
layer of skin
and the music from the stage
hearkens back and connects us
past and present
me in my reclining lawn chair and
floppy hat from Panama
quick take a
picture with iPhone
