Thanks, Delacroix
Mephistopheles stares idly back
From the charcoal-print postcard,
Taped up to the rear-view mirror
On the driver's side.
It looks to me
Like Sad Wings of Destiny,
Representative of those
In danger to be damned.
I'll reach out for his hand,
Drive down to the crossroad
And then cross the Rio Grande.
I kick my heel to the gas.
Another look to the rear-view;
I get a glimpse,
You're in the back
Cleanin' up your six shooter
To our favorite delta blues track.
As a bullet skips
From your lips to the gun,
You sing "my father is a fascist,
And the only good fascist is a dead one."
It looks as if
You've signed your soul away
To guarantee that he
Will be the best one.
In my head,
I tuck and roll out of the car.
Bobby Johnson's on his knees
As Mephistopheles plays steel guitar.
Murder isn't that hard,
So far.
