Keokuk, Iowa

This cold front’s been chasing me since Salt Lake City.

Walmart. Always Walmart.
Up and over Donner Pass. That place of American failure.
Eat your children in order to live.

Walmart. Always Walmart.
My lips haven’t been warm since they touched yours.
This cold front caught up to me in Muncie.

And it’s been raining ever since.
