Say three tall panels
In a field
Of burnt scrub grass
Along the road
From the airport
An office complex
The shape of a castle
Made of blocks
Sits on a hill
Overlooking parched fields
Mechanics' shops
Parking lots for roadside eats
Suddenly wide letters
Jump out into space
JOS! GAF! (a big head
With big teeth & eyebrows
In black & white)
BONCO!
The message could be
From the walls and pillars
Along the train tracks
Of Chicago
Sent and received
We enter the city
Via del Corso
And walk to the wide
Piazza del Popolo
A strong god watching over
A fountain with more gods
A obelisk 60 feet high
Covered in hieroglyphics
Rises skyward
On its top
A cross within a circle
