The Farmer Panics
Who owns
which galaxy?Which galaxy
more planets?Who drives
the white pickupwith gold
hood ornament—pearl inlaid
steering wheel?One town over
they paint porches green.Part of a nine
year plan tobring corn syrup
to them there hills.Handful of
seeds, yeastand a beast—
make shooting starout of firefly.
On clear dayssmell the money
in that chicken shit.
