this broke land
growing weeds uncattled!
drive into it
sand and rotted schist --
soil ramparts
cut through broken earth
where wheels have been - -
chemical it!
crows upon sog
gulls over rocks, tearing
wind,
the hedge twisting
from a road's access
thorns twirl
that puncture clothing
of any idea --
hammering
in the squared fields round
echoing
general purpose
pesky
fear
engines of stasis
loudly
generating
