West of the Great Divide
Where great-grandchildren of cowboys
On ranches still reside.

With local antiquities inside;
Native American artifacts,

Ten Gallon Hat
...I come from the borough of Queens, New York
My classmates call me a Klutz and a dork
Those names pervaded my soul, taking a toll
Being at the bottom of the totem pole.

FILLELD WITH PEACE

They come to our door dressed as witches…as princesses…
as wizards, as ghosts and goblins too…

From sunrise to sunset.
Hard work, calloused hands,
And a bunk to hang his hat.
Riding, roping, branding,
It's all for a week's pay.

She sat off in the corner, her hands on her knees,
A fly on the windowsill nobody sees.

Courteous men tilted hats
