climbing trees into arkansas
the smell the rain
comes on strong
in dekalb
I spent today
climbing trees into arkansas
except where I started
there were no trees
only cotton and oil fields
badlands
there was an accident
on the highway behind me
cars and soldiers shot down in battle
there is nothing like rain
in arkansas, in little rock
south park street steps
between time machines
it shouldn’t have to be this hard
to recognize everyone is human
that the occupants of this planet
are all one organism
it shouldn’t be this hard
to hear the ghosts of history
until then this will never end
we are motels under construction
we are driving the wrong way on the
interstate
