AZ

Like a belch in desert silence

    Is the beat of my anxious heart

Like the drone of a helicopter adventure tour

    Is the broadcast of my fixations

Like a slick of stream over sandstone boulders

    Are my sorry palms

Like the crenellations of a red rock escarpment

    Are the intervals of my angst

Like the ruffles of a sandy butte

    Are ditto

Like wild skunk pigs scouring a quiet cul-de-sac for fleshmeat

    Am I

Like Navajo tacos & cafeteria pizza

    Are the contradictions of my yen

Like couples arguing in the adjacent hotel room

    Are all couples

LIke the Agua Fria river meandering the arid plateau

    Is my Ascendant Zenness
