Hippo-Colored Hungry by PW Covington

Hippo-colored
Dogmice
Triphop and acid jazz
Afternoon Fresca can
Pickle slices from the jar
Sink and swim
Catalytic slip-stream smoke
Two zips of shake
In the glovebox
Lovebox
Magic fungus time
State lines in the snow
           and
Hippo-colored hungry
Gas station burrito
All’s Up
Leather toilet paper and 
Cornell ‘77
On the Bluetooth sound stream
Highway neonspace at noon
Dogmice
Nickle-plated
Knuckle smash
Nile and Rubicon
State lines in the snow
Vapid grain vodka and orange juice
Hippo-colored hungry




PW Covington writes in the Beat tradition of the North American highway. He lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, two blocks north of Historic Route 66.
