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.
Choose life even if life
is a pasture and sky so unimpressed the moon
crashing into the sun would be bright
but probably nothing by June.
We disappeared willingly into cicada
invaded nights to rescue a cabbage patch kid
from a cornfield, each of us alone
with our own straight and measured row, leaves
slapping us in the face,
80 acres of mothers.
