devils.

2005-10-31 9:10 a.m.

the great depression came
and found us crawling on our stomachs,
eating the dust in parking lots and restaurants
just searching for some meaning, starving for
the epiphany to come
saying
you have done enough

so we could sleep easy

don't mention days in their duration, instead
take passages from them, like the bible,
giving whatever moral seems most able
to rectify some mistake
to socialize us back into our cities

good citizens that we are,
we went hungry
in the midst of oklahoma.
