a mile
or so
beyond
the walls
of the sub
division
on the
other side
of the wal-mart
in the park
with dead
grass
surrounded
by flat-roofed
apartments
i saw
the other
ndn homeowner
i know
a 300lb
pima man
racing through
a slalom course
holding
an egg
on a spoon
in one hand
a leash to his poodle
in the other
his wife
and children
screaming
for him to go
faster
By Kade L. Twist
i remember
the day the tornados
came
to visit with us
all those semi-custom
tract houses
torn away
from their foundations
flying through
the air
as deconstructed
pieces of debt and ambition
only to be deposited
beyond their gated subdivisions
among oil pumps
and storage tanks
and alfalfa fields
and canals
in random piles
of sheet rock and vinyl siding
amalgamated with
body parts
broken knick-knacks
and fetishes
the kit foxes
digging
through the various layers
of capitalism
seduced
by the scent of blood
