april winds
arizona
knows how to blow some dust
the news today says that downtown
phoenix is the worst place to eat fast food
because it’s unhealthy
and congested in the midst of pollution
aren’t we rough enough
says the woman pushing her cart
down
aren’t we tough enough
says another man chasing a kid down the street
his bike shouldn’t have been
parked outside that 7 eleven store
the winds, they blow again
our desert at the mercy of another visit
another young man dead
murdered in his home down the street
no one said life would be easy
it really isn’t about you, is it?
rather, it’s about the person next to you
and what words
might find the truth
that matters most
