John Crow Batty broke a stick and
  stirred the fire
   "Don't use rotten or green wood, too much smoke."
it was a hazy hot day 
 flies were buzzing around
  a goat bleated pathetically
he passed me a bottle
"Here drink this, but not too much."
His laughter was like a rock slide
 "Have you ever been to Morrocco?" He asked.
"I went there many years ago. The men wear full length skirts that have hoods covering their heads. They look like some freaky movie. They got some good hashish over there though."
The rocks slid again
"And the caterwhauling before the sun came up!  Nearly scared the crap right out of me. I thought insane man had taken drugs and was howling for the universe. Crazy shit."
He went to take a piss and the goat followed him.
