Ralph
(Alkali Lake Reserve)
Yesterday he went
to the dump
the prayer dump
of garbage
He found his dog
that was shot
he buried him
He didnât come back
to school that day
and the inspector
came and the principal
(knowing there is a slim
possibility that God
may not exist at all)
They spoke of
irresponsibility
lack of discipline
how children must learn
to be on time
The butchered vision
of reality
cluttered with the ugliness
of its power
As if that empty equation
of time, of punctuality, of
punch-the-clock
responsibility
As if it could match
even for one simple second
just one cool nuzzle
of one dogâs nose
In one boyâs hand
on one Indian
reservation
