JUICE
oil pumping to depletion
water on the planet not increasing
population is
MIGRANTS
in a neighborhood of standardized hedges
corn grows in our front yard
with Peruvian lilies and tomatoes
miniature roses outgrowing their moniker
yarrow, a fire poker plant
and sweet alyssum
somehow friends
where imagination is an inconvenient truth
and color TV is the blackboard
that gets erased
the Change from consumer
to consumed
is difficult indeed
VACATION
wolf howl mesa
the tarmac
a place of departures and margaritas
busy indeed
a few shrubs waver in the heat
was the front door locked?
perhaps it won't matter
