Longtown Larry
and his big-headed friend
with the unknown name
(though they’re always together)
sit talking in the town beach parking lot at sunset
in Larry’s blue Dodge Ram truck
parked at an angle to the lines
far away from the remaining few cars
again
They’re talking about
White supremacy or maybe sandwiches
hunting dogs or muzzle velocity
or how to dismantle the colonial state
Either that or they’re in love
and this is all they ever do about it
in this beach town where everyone
knows Longtown Larry
and his truck and the friend
with the big head and no name
who isn’t from here
It’s worthy of suspicion
on so many fronts
