The Earth is a Landfill


The earth is a Landfill


I tread in asphalt streams amongst the Great Plains
Overwhelmed by the rushing rapids of nearby
Gerald R. Ford River

As the albino sky cows grazed peacefully in the toxic pastures
To stomachs content, releasing thunderous flatulence
Onto the earth

Red brick revolvers emitted smoke lingered by death
Imprinted in the buffalo grass at the battle field
Of Superfund

The natives lived off the land, filled by its roots
And the pioneers laid waste, landed there by
By the whispers in the wind

One group’s trash is another’s treasure.
