How did it become our 6th lgst city, I asked, this snoozy barren boiling in zero livability
Place?
Then looked around the 8 lane intersection, waiting for the light,
The only green I'll see all day--
The buildings on the corners bark back at each other
Three clinics chiropractic and one red, shite and blue Exxon/Mobil clinic gasoholic.
My mom said if you can't say something positive, then zip it up but she also said
There's always something positive, if you look hard enough.
Phoenician Chamber of Commerce—I love how easy it is to make a U turn, even at
Major intersections and seeing the name Divinity Tattoo
In a strip mall. And Mrs. White's Golden Rule Cafe where there used to be a downtown.
And Central Christian Supply.
Why do they come here, gunmetal silver and baked terra cotta? Consanguinity and
Anonymity, like the store that has only twelve step help items,
Family, friends or on the dodge
Hoping for what the Phoenix represents, another life, incendiary repechage.
