Windpump [3]
Windpump

The metallic dandelion clock
stands derelict to it's duty
next to the abandoned drive-in diner parking lot.
So much waste
on the plains of Kansas,
once fertile prairies scarred by concrete slabs
and plastic straws
in a haste to mine all assets,
to prime the pump of plenty,
increase the flow of paper bucks —
lest the future be dammed
as all returns to the poverty of dust.
