here in texas (a squatter)

here in texas
we're
pretty
efficient
about this sort of thing

here in texas
everything is
bigger
even
evil vileness
swallowing what's left

here in texas
are many
languages and colors
none so white
as pure
nor so pure
as to be admired

here in texas
everyone
goes
to
new york
sometime or nother

here in texas
peaches blossom
while lettuces wilt and
sweet peas
sour
on the vine

here in texas
some is wrote down
more is left
unsaid
the easier
to lie about

here in texas
we sing
songs to our sons
dead
along the rivers

here in texas
close
to the end
free at last
of civilized needs

here
texas screams
at her frozen limits
nothing
a few mega-vitamins can't cure
or a free floating life raft

here in texas
minds are sane
souls mad
another wren perches alone
in the city

here in texas
hidden away
pulled away from the world we knew
writing stupid nonsense
like
here in texas
