Klaxon Bell

The American Bullseye

You have to get through
the everstretching
Mc-Wal-Mart-belt
(where all the people
live and work and shop)
to finally get to
the ancient Heart
of it all

with nobody around,
except for the
occasional
tum
ble
weed
in between the
antique and thrift shops
that sell out
your past

in numbered,
standardised,
everstretching
stalls.
