The Big Cube (1969). ☆☆
shadows burned
into white stone walls
for staying
all the years
silos on the prairie clutch
their dragon treasure
"Nearly as vacant were the sidewalks, haunted only by the occasional set of uniforms shed by deserters. In some cases, the gear was in such a neat little heap, with helmet on top of blouse and boots beneath trousers, that a ray gun appeared to have vaporized the owner. In a city where nothing went to waste, no one touched these uniforms." --Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer (2015)
