He was in the Halfway House for the Mentally Redeemable.
A beer-cold eviction from Canada's Wheat, Prairies
and silver clouds.
A gun has weight; a solid beer is gold.
The length of a road is with a motorcycle.
Family. Enemy. Boon. Zoom.

Haiku

Good Dad wipes his eyes.
Cigarettes dangle, candy
drips from his fingers.
