things I have been thinking about

Sawdust Stardust

Sawdust-
cowboy boots,
sticky bars,
there's an empty tequila down there on the corner,
some Mexican music in my left mind.
Hot topics you sitting there with that goof.
We saw each other when I came in.
I felt you.
Then I saw you pretending.
I see you smiling lying.
I see you calculating with your right mind,
you're thinking, evaluating-
if I would be good for you,
if we could be something that you might not understand,
not wanting to know if I am better than what you have.
The thinking is what you are wondering about.
It's the Stardust.
