6/30

Between the dark green hills.

Hantan riverbank hustler

Raw chicken leg plucking snail suckers

Grey mist and

Thousand-worn pebbles hard and cold.

Under the choke grey mist,

American grain dreamer

Young village boy watching father; screamer

Purple calves and

Circling mucus rings foam and froth.

At the mud brown table,

Buddhist relic raver

Miyeok guk bowls tasting salt flavor

Seven siblings and

Zero-word mother chill and far.

In the cramped bath house,

Apple pie bruise raising

Coca Cola jingle breeding hatred

Of bamboo slats and

Drooling tigers of mountain untamed and tall.

And what does he know about father?

And what does he know about nation?

He just hopes, maybe, he can be

Yankee

That, yes, there is a place

A Beautiful Country

Across the world waiting.
