PYRAMIDS
The trailer park is
one hundred pyramids
of suburban decay
linoleum sided sarcophagi
bleached white by the
Bayshore sun
ambulances are chariots
without the lights on
no rush for the dead
who lay forgotten on
plastic covered furniture
while the news berates
their corpses with daily terrors
we worship the scarabs
the sons and daughters
of the trailer park pharaohs
who dance in the sun
and are revived with Narcan
I need to escape
