Coffee Felons on the Loose

TEXAS DRAWL

The phrase cowboy art
I’m into an advanced reading
There’s a lot of fear and boasting here
Relying entirely on slapstick comedy
But high heels and a smile
Shrimp biryani. Even
Standard chutneys
Vehicle on a gravel road.

CAPAEAO

Cowboy art:
An advanced word dugout —
Powerful metaphor —
A lot: and boasting:
Entirely of, but high.
A smile, even standard,
On a hazel eye.
