Pete’s Last Layover

Pete and his cousin found a flop, paid up
for a Chicago layover, a boil
whenever the itch, a week-and-then-some
before the slow rattler home riding
the bumpers. Only beef: a hooty bum
looking for punks to mend his tails, handle
pans and pack his banner for him, come
Kalamazoo. “Kalamazoo’s the place,”
called from the tops where he liked the ride,
“Stick with me, you’ll be scoffing it richly,
no slave market duty, get in line, ham
another’s tune. Kalamazoo means
liberty for every open-eyed stiff,
pick your lay-out, smoke the homeguards raw.”
