Factory Farm Blues

Eating a sandwich made with bread from the store that came in a plastic wrapper that has a farm scene on the wrapper that shows a brawny farmer on the wrapper a brawny farmer reaping in a rolling-hilled field I remember bread from when I was young and it sang but this bread is silent [...]

The Customer

I returned my chemistry  to the Store yesterday. I don’t want this, I said. It doesn’t fit me.  It’s too big. They tried to argue with me a little, but in the end they conceded that the customer is always right. So I left the Store with a new chemistry. My brain stopped with the [...]

Holy Books

Everything’s  a holy book looking for a page turner. Every day’s a bookmark rising to hold a place in the book. Every time that spine is cracked it’s the first time it’s ever bent.  Every now and then someone comes with a crayon and disgfigures a book but it hardly matters. Every ruined book is [...

Brownfields (The Revolution Begins At Home)

All I want to do is leave the comfortable house. I want to leave it behind or off to one side. It’s ok if it sees me leaving as I won’t be back. I want to drive to brownfields and old factories. This town has plenty like pockmarks. I won’t get out of the car. [...]
