Look,

this is not the West, this is

the 21st Century but still as desolate

cottonwood pollen blowing through

abandoned mansions, the ball-bearing factory,

strikers with their flapjack placards

waving at a glance of traffic

At the discount cinema, gunfighters name

a young Cherokee guide “Look”

because of the way she stares, because

of the way they look at her. And everyone

keeps their eyes on the horizon,

Look, you’ve won a set of false teeth.

Excerpt of Look by Sarah Messer
