Peace, U.S.A., 2018


Peace 
U.S.A., 2018 
  
The village is abandoned; the city’s tumult grows.
And in the leafy suburb, the humans can’t be seen.
The tractor plows the farmland; the traffic clogs the town.
The stalk of grass is glowing; the sprinkler wets the lawn.
A migrant man is walking; a car goes speeding by.
The field of stubble shimmers; a billboard lofts its sign.
A woman dodges buses, her cell phone to her ear.
A dog barks in a backyard, but no one seems to hear.

2018  March 2nd, Fri.
Brooklyn, New York
