"BP Station Employee Restroom, 2 a.m."

Here's the diagram. Here's
what a sawed-off shotgun
looks like. Here's

a Derringer, here's
a Colt. Here are some words
we used for drunk: Smashed, Trashed,
and bombed. Do not keep
any large bills on hand
after midnight. Here are some words
we use for kill: Hit. Taken out.
Elimination. Snuffed. Offed. Knocked
off. Keep the lot
lights up, as well as

inside. Here are some words
we use toward love: Crush. Flame.
Arrow. Torch. Fallen. I

fell. Maintain eye
contact with each oncoming

person. Greet them. Hi.
Hello, chief. Buenos
noches. Hey, buddy. Nobody
move. Hello.

An American Visit to Iraq


A million grains of sand

can't soak it up.

It stays on top

congeals

and finally dries

after the flies have fed.




the bones last longer.


the children

run past

the stain.
