welcome 2 amerIca

 1

we are full

of ourselves

ogling each other

somnambulating

though

empty malls

with the borrowed bones

of our ancestors

decorated with purses and lipstick

on stiletto heels.

2

what you always want,

isn’t the price you

always pay.

and

there is a price to pay

for everything.

3

look real close:

our highway eyes

are filled

with ghosted gods

and speeding tickets

and hidden cameras.
