Scattered Free Association

Scattered, smashed, torn, and mangled

Disassembled

Unpoetry

Like all the parts of a robot scattered everywhere

Bits of electronic components smashed

Love letters torn up

Mangled puzzle pieces that will never fit anywhere again

You have to destroy to create sometimes

But sometimes things are just destroyed and never re-purposed to a better use

What about those Cadillacs all in a row

Out in the desert?

What is that all about?

A shrine to cars

Maybe someday all the cars will be gone and that will be all that is left

Rusting scrap metal, relics left after the petroleum war is over

When there is no more to be had

And people get tired of scarring the land with paved freeways going here there and everywhere

Ribbons of highways that even crossed oceans

Open mining that raped the land beyond the ability of nature to ever recover

Blood diamonds in Africa and copper mines in AZ leaking radiation all over the native peoples

Where a wedding ring is more important than a man's arm
