The Ancient Modern
Texit / Joshua Alan Sturgill
From the new collection, Now A Major Motion Picture.
A story filmed
in California (aliens
devouring New York
again) tours
the straightedge states
and swells the cinemas
in Texas. And for
an hour, Texans
are amused, transported
to that fantastic
Other America—taken in
by images sent back
from that country
where their soybeans
and their methane go.
But often now
for Texans, California
is just a major
motion picture, New York
little different than
Disney World—places
nice to visit, sure,
but a body
could never really live there
