The Vanishing Valley

The Vanishing Valley

The valley, a woman lying on her back,
    legs spread wide
           wet by constant rain
                her geography.

An immense fertile expanse screams as
  She’s slowly raped
      By brutal land grabbers
          Profiteers of progress

Her once lush fields concretized, paved
    Over with Super-sized Wal-Marts
          And parking garages
             For posh restaurants

The new cowboys ride golf carts and
      Line up at Rite-Aid
          To fill prescriptions for
                Limp dicks

Where o where have all the cowboys gone?
                  She sobs.
