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
