regent saguaro stand guard
extravagant like well suited CEO's
karma that exists with Presidents
ocotillo warned me off
all those deep residents
resistant in their holes
excavating land and other incidents
at night this place is rockin
something this thorny space has meant
complacent therapy with look who's talkin
what next will surreal God invent
more sacred sage brush
petroglyphs etched on sandstone that is forming
there is rational intent
reconstructing this world
from what it was formerly
structure is instructively unfurled
frustrating and maybe tormenting
more thorn and less natural curl
a recipe of leaves and burrs fomenting
perhaps rare chemicals
will solve resentment
what the earth is hurling
to remain solvent
perhaps repentant
things must evolve
survival is the only incentive
in the rivalry of desert
there is no joy or love
only consentual nature
warming to the very idea
of all this desert push and shove
