Roadside Collection by Rick Abasta Monday, November 02, 2009 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan Another windy day in Window Rock.
Howling winds spit Angry hateful words Against all humanity On this day. More than courage Shall be required To run outside And face anger. Trash strewn about: Remnants of poverty, Complete self loathing And simple ignorance. Road kill observed: Animals die daily In an effort Of dodging failure. My girl sneezes In another room It takes moments For “Bless you.” Like this town, I lack class Day by day It is survival. Unemployed and negligent I am guilty Of American idiocy And failed dreams. Standing in defiance I pick trash Against screaming winds And welcome reality.
