207

After America nothing else
was left. You can discover
a handsome creek as you hike through the woods-
a quaint street fair in the town
that you were passing through. Your great grandmother's
immigration papers. A smile on a child.

But they took the last continent. The last secret
piece of earth. The rest of what was left
for us by whatever left us things.

So let's attach some wires and mix
some chemicals and see what happens
when we love our kids.

Take what we make and sit on a couch
with a map of the world and our
bodies and wonder where to look next.
