South Dakota by Joshua Moore

Four faces
ten cows
40 people
a river runs through it
Aberdeen Rapid City Sioux Falls
crops of corn soybeans 
hog factory ethanol highway interstate 
flat plains shadow of Rockies
sparse vast country music cowboy hats
pickups tractors American flag whackos
jacks coyotes
buffalo paddlefish grasshoppers deer crows
vulture walleye pheasants otters cattle grain
green sky derecho buffalo 
ghost towns railroad 
Homestake mine caves peaks 
tribes pioneers reservation farms 
million Big Siouxland 
crickets chirp
 plains old west
motorcycle rally August 
blizzard snow hot humid
