Blacktop


by R. A. Allen


 

 

You can't trust everything,

but you have to trust something,

so let's make it asphalt, yo.

Stretching bituminously

through patriotic wheatland

past discount full-retail

and Injun casinos

from Coconut Groves

to Golden Gates,

like licorice taffy,

we'll gobble it by the mile.
