Midnight in Brenham
Drinking with Orion
While the insects croon
While the insects brood
Gotta head full of smoke
Tobacco on the tongue
Talk to the moon
Reminisce about youth
Remember in high school
Out past the curfew
Orion in the sunroof
Talking it through
Couple years since
The Trinity, the Brazos
The rocking chair
The dead bug fluorescence
You're dragging on the past
Until it gets nauseous
So you smother its ash
Toss it in the trash
