Realm

Scratching
Turning
Twisting

Modesto, California
Another dustbowl
Another dead-end

I remember Death Valley
Hans the German tourist
Orange juice and oatmeal

Sleeping
Walking
Gambling

Writing
Pissing
Shitting

Lancaster, California
Another pawnshop
Another dead man

I remember dry heat
Pony rides
Diamondbacks

Praying
Purging
Pandering

Wrestling
Waiting
Waiting
