The Sun's Encased inside My 'Bic'


                               Arid eyes
                         burn in the Mohave heat
                                    where Camels
                                         eat and smoke
                                                         dehydrated Frosted Flakes
                                    with mold 
                              and disease on them . . .
                                                                    preserving
                                                                            this mirage of life.
