earth note 814

a dry 98 degree f
on the missouri kansas line
teenagers hanging out
at the sub shop
looking for jobs
a john deere cap speaks faintly
over a full throated gun slinger
the land is not forgiving
like dried out fields in transition
turning over the loam again
is nothing but a gamble
like dusty trucks
waiting for an empty
car wash bay
