Sam hated Kansas But what’s in a name? Everything. Everything about the name Dad, Mom, the bunker, the band, The fire, Everything about them. He hated how No matter how quick a draw, Despite the ease of his fingers Behind a blade, Behind a bullet, Behind her neck, He was never quick enough To jam the radio buttons fast enough To get those Fucking Voices Out. It was like 5 songs all at once Preening and wailing and sighing To the redness and the rage And the blinding static dying Behind his eyelids And the dirty, Broken Skin Itching at his knuckles. But beside him, Dean just sang along. He preened and he wailed along, He sighed at the silence. He fixed the static on the dial. Pushed in and punched out Tape after tape, Like sounds could soothe his beaten brow. Sam hated Kansas. Hated the roads they promised. Hated the miles and fathers they forgave. Hated the mothers they slew. Hated the words he wouldn’t sing to. As they punched in and pushed out Every crevice of his deep, black heart. Rattled every surface Of this deep, black car. He hated them. Carry On, “I’m not your son,” There’ll be Peace, “I’ve never known one,” Lay your weary head “I’m so tired, Dean.”
