thirty-six
east to hannibal missouri
1.
came out of the bottom of a cloud burst
it's been said this was a long time
coming
the hills restless
twisting & turning
a mad rain
raging down just to get even
leaving some of the big rigs
& wide loads
desperate for a wide shoulder
to cry on
2.
a few days earlier
on a new mexico dusty gravel road
all
aboriginal land jicarilla apache nation
eventually leading to pagosa
springs colorado
the new mexico / colorado 'state
line'
was suddenly noted
in a woman's voice
maybe blond on blond
with a tongue in cheek
'welcome to colorado'
3.
sorghum should be the name
now known for kansas
from northeast africa
to the great plains
without chattel
without molasses
let the sunflowers grow
