america is big
in the way that a clean
table has room for more
food, dishes, cats
it is on the cusp
of climactic change
the big breastplate
of modern invention
and is frightening
for its standard of living
is photographable
not a negative
outlook with such nice
weather and dreams and objects
i can roam free in this country
people are paid
to watch the bad guys
forest rangers and cops
all twisted clutching holsters
selfless like jedi force
making sure the people can
migrate from job to home to leisure
this country is flammable smokey
says ten thousand matches a tree
this country is waiting
not wanting but waiting
for missiles to deploy
shields are down
