for a cat in the hand i give you
me. scattered over america like
lakes and dips in the field,
that warm dry california dirt i
love so much. pretermit the obscenities
and our usual obituaries
allusions to greener times
the ground is warm and full of
scent. just lift it up!
you are an indoor man
groomed and adapted to
air conditioning and all of those
good inventions
i like them too.
but better are the weeds and tires
burning food and
satires of summer
turn up the radio and clink
my glass feel the soil
dry as it is
just breathe it in and
look me straight
