quite soon to be passing our way,
with the clowns in a clamor to twerk us -

agendas of aberrant acts
while the donkeys drool,...

Through the morning, shimmering with colors that wavering, fade
from a desert where heat is a hue, and history's due
cactus and trees, knotted and sparse, a portrait some mad god must'f bade
into being,...
