One-sided Conversation

How cold is the beer in Tucson?

What was it that scared you about

driving through Death Valley?

Don’t worry, you don’t have to say

anything if you don’t want to.

I heard that there are Gila monsters

in Arizona that eat stray dogs,

alley cats and runaway children.

I once saw a bear in the middle of

Nebraska sitting on the side of I-80,

waiting for traffic to die down.
