Blue Sky

“it is a very lucrative property to invest in and own” 
– The Rural Virginian, June 7, 2024  

& as ancient remedy  

for that troublesome complaint        the headache  

after a night  

of hard loss  

drinking           read the Ebers Papyrus. Or read me 

on the abandoned affect           & the fragmented  

& the city’s transient. Or late capitalism’s 

line in the sand       distancing: rural trailer from urban  

townhouse. Or read the recent weekly report:  

the snake-in-the-grass landlord’s rents on lots going 

up up         up        & the extra income generated 

from the mobile home park corporate  

Buyout?                      Nothing                 but blue sky.
