Dia de Muertos in a Parking Lot
23 July 2017
The big trucks roll along the interstates
And bear in their wombs the American soul:
Made-in-China shoes, ‘phones, dolls, cartoon tees
Scented soaps, baseball bats, and hipster hats
And the dead. Disposable merchandise
In the commerce of nations, the subjects
Of learned discourse and bigoted rant
Everyone in America wants to be famous
Coyotes dispose of their human cargo
And
How easy for us to say we didn’t know
