Like the Sun Never Sets, This Desert

Rattlesnake crossing hot tar,
Red-tailed hawk circling blank sky,
Cashier and a customer

Are talking at the Walgreens
On State St. The Queen’s dying.
Yeh, must be. The family’s

All there. That gives it away.
‘Cept Harry. Never should have
Married Meghan. Feel sorry

For him. Nah, he only got
What he deserved. Serves him right.
Need your receipt? Nah, keep it.

Lanky customer shuffles out.
Short cashier sighs, takes the next.
