employment is only
for the fearful
fear only grows
in families
and the cowslinger, Rodrigo
Dolson
ancient double-agent
of most all this
packaged as hate
careens from everyone
I once saw slide
off his dice
saddle in mind
to survey the outside
of what the culture
in general agrees with
spat, drew a
spittoon from
mid-nowhere
with such velocity
and hawkeyed
depth of dead
glamor
in pony breath eyes
said
(this I honor
and swear
will never answer)
the West is an
abstraction anyway
though it's my
bread and budder
