In Texas In TexasIn Texas by *Mahi-Fish
In Texas we have traded
golden calves for brazen bulls.
Phallic monuments rise up
larger than life replicas
one nostril flared, head erect, angry veins
dappled in coppery greens
and flecks of barbed-wire rust.
Our idolatry goes unnoticed
though we adorn our unnecessarily large trucks
and their custom painted beds
lying fallow behind the cab
with icons to our living god and set
our empty thoughts with
our beer cans in cup holders.
We import commodities such as
beef and milk and Spanish
and offset it with our major export-
a searing brand
on the ass of designer work jeans
tucked into our glossy boots
in t
Sta.sh
