"Night After Night"

" Night After Night "

Night after night
highly-classified
duck blinds

eyes closed tightly
while in private
beneath light-
emitting diodes
for bull riders
in caulk stripes

like high-profile
misidentified writers
in pin stripes
all the while

with the slightest
of fairy tale vibes
as scandal-sheet headlines
in bold-faced type
realized only once upon a time...
