Applying to Heavy Equipment School I marched farther into the Great Plains And refused to come out.
I threw up a few scaffolds of disinterest.
Around me in the fields, the hogs grunted And lay on their sides.
You came with a little water and went away.
The glass is still on the table,
And the paper,
And the burned scaffolds. * You were bent over the sink, washing your stockings.
I came up behind you like the night sky behind the town.
You stood frowning at your knuckles And did not speak. * At night I lie still, like Bolivia.
My furnaces turn blue.
My forests go dark.
You are a low range of hills, a Paraguay.
Now the clouds cover us both.
It is raining and the movie houses are open.
