VOICES FROM THE FIRE:Jack Henry

mason jar

back in those old days

we kept cocaine

in a sugar jar

on a broke down kitchen table

next a stolen napkin dispenser. 

when we watched the Starsky and Hutch

movie we recognized we had become

a bad joke. 

now we keep our cocaine in a mason jar

in the garage next to cans of paint

because that makes so much more sense.
