The County Fair
Where we paid 50 cents to see
The World's Biggest steer
and the carnies sang their songs
and ran their cons and you
smelled of cotton-candy and
popcorn and we looked through the
window at the midget couple in their
tiny world and you laughed
and the music from the carousel
competed with the pitchman's pleas
and later , in the back seat, you cried
so I took you home and then Mike
got beer and we went to the tent
stripper and snuck in and watched
the black woman smoke a cigarette
in her cunt and were caught
and thrown out for too young
and I thought of you all night
and was in love with life
that year at the county fair.
