Frank on Parole
after Tom Waits
Frank despairs at the untuned ukulele.
The solitary instrument of desperate men.
He’s up next with poems dipped in petrol.
His ex-wife hasn’t shown up just yet.
So, Frank reignites those old spirits –
all Halloween orange and chimney red.
That godammed heartbroken ukulele player –
still weeping for Tammy Wynette.
