Arkansas . A Citizen

Tourism in this town
is a myth
spun by the town council
to make its populace
feel important and interesting
enough to visit.

The “mudding” events the old resident said

bring in a lot of people

I’m sure they do -

rednecks who like to see
mud splattered onto the blouses
of their fat girlfriends and wives

a pick-up truck variation

on a wet tee-shirt contest
only dirtier.

At night they liquor dream

of sow women
wrestling each others clothes off
in rope-a-dope styes 
as they toss pork rinds.

and erotically kiss the ‘nigger hanging tree’

on 4th street and Vine.

Check the tires

on your house, lady
I think you’ve got a flat
unbalancing your beta-wave incites.

A citizen.
