Poetry / Yankee Impressions

                                    
Like all things
Texas is good and Bad

Of course at this point
My knowledge of Texas is limited
to San Antonio

This city is odd to me
It is a city that thinks it’s a small town

This is both
charming
and disturbing

sometimes this city is like
riding into the sunset
in a convertible Caddie
the top is down
and I just smoked a fatty

yet

sometimes this city is like
a scorpion in my ass

one thing for sure
Texans love neon

the whole city appears as a neon desert
with bright glowing franchises
popping up like cactus

A gritty and cowboylike description of a  place I have read much about and know that the current Scorpion in the world´s ass (great line that) grew up there (I think, correct me if I´m wrong)
The overall image is as brutal as it sounds, a neon hell hole.
The pace is good throughout too.
Good work

The last line…maybe ‘cacti’ instead?
I don’t want to call this an intro, but I can easily see a fake travelogue piece following it.
