by Amurkan paredes y messyskin muros en el mente

but nopales growing on both sides

& on each side tarantulas walked onto

windy desertland & obeyed no law

of trespass nor any good walls fencing

bitter neighbors

but look how desiccated dead bodies w/ pennies on those eyes

            apologize

& WALLS & WALLS & still more WALLS concrete WALLS & razorwire

& send yr apologies & mark yr crooked smirk remove

those wrinkles from round yr eyes’ corners

& don’t prick yr humid Amurkan tongue tripping

over hot long vowelly hills or sink

in rivers rolling airrrrrrrrress

into twilights of ethnicity

as yet—as bounded to ethnicitas--

fuzzier—less salient—w/ whiteness & leisuretime & symbolic ethnicity for all--

bounded & still less relevant to everyday social life / sense

of connection to ancestral Makesicken

past fades in twilight /

& stars fell in Techno-ch-titlán

& these poetricks cd never be art--

solar-mente folkloricantos--

psst: “post-” that ¿wd ye?

glyph:

itzpapalotl

Consequently seventeen point two-five percent of rail mileage

mineral railroad owned leased pri-vah-tized . . .

Amurkan capital assumes complete control

of Meskin railroads / oil / agriculture / & mining

& biggest share of financial structuring

of telegraphs / telephones / & urban transport

O Mexico / passed into network webbed of Amurkan economic interests

conquering world markets & so far from dios & so

close / just yonder along that fence yes &

 uye / & vayan con dios cabrones b/c Amurkans don’t espeak Spanich

 “. . . large numbers of foreign companies / most of them Amurkan

“entered Messico as lows extrahnhayroes became interested in industry

“/ los Messacains gradually withdrew / . . . ” jumpin borders indeed

our United States of Amurka

for:

from 1900-1910

USA slid into Mexica

100% red/white/blue Amurkan

chorizo

& left next morn w/ more

than one-quarter                                                                                 

of that neighbor’s national wealth                                                                             

yea that’s freedom / for some

1880-1910

swaths of land expropriations during Diaz dictatorship

occurred along or on planned railroad routes

powder in big wind

& Sr. Holy Ford: “figate: I was sent from highest heaven

 “endowed w/ special knowledge of industry / I use

 “good grammar / I stand up straight / & I believe

 “I do mankind most good making cars

 “that’s my business / & you know what else

 “that’s beautiful b/c industry is culture / b/c

 “culture is practice / & that’s beautiful . . .

 “everything shd be a thing of beauty--

 “well thought out & well methodical . . .”

¿Aye?

indeed: sd one Zukofsky: “railways & highways have tied

 “blood of farmland & town

 “& the chains

 “speed wheat to machine”    

& so if ye can’t win them

run to them & join them

go Messkins git on up ‘ere to ‘murka but don’t get too comfy beaner

ye’re allowed a bit but not too much don’t be stingy now

hey there’s their tierra over there

otra tierra mahs aya

trickle trickle picked wind

& off roars & gray & more gray

nopales fat w/ life paddles & paddles of it

& sigh & stomp

rain / sweet come w/ me

waves & night & branching

see there’s world there—more—over there

there’s world there—more world—move there
