Donald Trump legally changes
His name to Shit Talk
Sneaks across
The Mexico border
Has to climb over
The wall half-built
The sun in the sky like
The iris in the eye of Ivanka
Spinning through space
In a blank Manhattan apartment
People reach down in the rain
Help Shit Talk scramble
Over the ramparts
The intricate streets
Of Ciudad Juarez
On the horizon
Like threaded root networks
Seen with X-ray vision
Through the rusty
Chihuahuan desert mat
Shit Talk straddles creosote brambles
Walks upon the rain shadow plain
Shimmies by the yucca leaf blades
Trips falls turns around
Straightens out still heading
Southeast into the diving sun
15 hallucinations on 15 separate
Patches of sand
Trundling into the wind
A fat Don Quijote
A wounded pilgrim
A scarecrow a tin man
A cowardly lion
Dusty jugs of water
Track shoes a Bible
Scorpion tracks
Can pronghorn antelope speak
Its words like the leap
Of the differential grasshopper
The plop of the spadefoot toad
The creep of the climbing milkweed
Armadillo mesquite breakdown
In the empire of the foothills
Shit Talk whistles through
The parralena the agarita
Wishes upon a star
Or is it a satellite
Or a drone
Or a firetail dragonfly
Flitting in the twilight
Like the thoughts that
Were never his
