Crappy Poem No. 1094

while in search of bean burritos
there are two men with demons in their heads,
with their keeper
at least it seems like their keeper
could be the feather man's girlfriend

all rosaries and swaying
one dollar in his hand
and there is a lot of talking
to the demons
against the demons

the keeping of the demons in their heads
the pleading with them to stay still
and in between the order of one soft taco
please and thank you
and shut up, shut up, shut up

the feather man is giving advice
and the small one is muttering behind me
making sure that I don't see
the keeper is tired, trying
to sit everyone down

but I get up and
slurp one last slurp
walk out into the night
leaving the demon keepers
to their keeper

or girlfriend
judging by her car
