DESERT SOAPBOX

he doubts now

what he firmly knew before


he sits quietly sits aside

and listens to yet another


desert huckster selling us

an unflattering picture of ourselves


as people howl assent around him

he looks up in the slate-violet twilight


and imagines all present looking at

different pictures of this same soapbox
