a murder of crows

Hi Billy

im gonna miss u at the flea

u always had a smile

and a kind word as well

didnt expect u to pass

to the other side

so soon

but really anyone who works at the flea

knows that things change fast

so if theres a big market

on the other side

knockem out with those

great fotographs

the wolf the horse and the strange beauty of the west

u captured in your frames

RIP Billy

im in arkansas watching traffic

and a few chickn trucks

piled high with

mctenders….

mostly arkansas is a rural state

run thru with churches

wall mart and college football

but the commmodification

and amplification

of commerce is fierce here

mostly in shopping malls

and strip centers full of faux italian

sandwich shops in a metal building veneers

but who can blame folks for wanting to make a living

(only 2 generations away from being a hill billy in a log cabin with no running water will do u like that)

and by god im rite there with them

on paying bills

but really

how long can endless mindless growth go on?

its all run on dead dinosaur dreams

even my paints are oil based

and thats prolly why i love the desert so much

the land is completely utterly indifferent

to what we as humans do

to ourselves

even the gas clouds we throw up

will mostly just exterminate ourselves

as the desert will go on

just as surely as the sun

will rise

remember

if u carry fire
in one hand

and a hammr in the other

your hands are full

and running can

become more difficult
