Karl May,

                                                sing me a home!

Where drunken

                        cowtipped whores

                                                play high noon pianos

for cattlemen

                        strung by their garters!

                                                Where blue hostel

schoolmarms fuck

                        horse thieves

                                                named Dusty and Deaf!

Where steers sing

                        in German accents,

                                                hard short moo’s!

Llano

                        Dallas

                                                El Paso

Aachen

                        Gelsenkirchen

                                                Peenemunde

The cowboy’s
