The coach/health teacher decorated third period
with slide show syphilis. You could tell
if a tornado or STD would kill you by its proximity
to the billboards of the glowing unborn fetus.

is a pasture and sky so unimpressed the moon

from a cornfield, each of us alone
with our own straight and measured row, leaves
slapping us in the face,
