J.J. Campbell

always have some liquor nearby

it’s a cold moon 
in a hollow autumn
sky

loud sounds in 
the distance

the freaks like to 
scare each other 
at this time of 
night

a few miles to 
home, car broken 
down again

the old injury you 
never had checked
aching the foot 
once again

an old friend told 
you to always have
some liquor nearby 
because you never 
know

you forgot the 
brown paper 
bag

no one drinks 
this shit anymore 
anyways
