Barbacoa


I wonder if the Indians
Wanted to be somewhere
Else during these festivities
Like we do today –
Never content with the current company.
I bet they envisioned (after a few peyote hits)
Texting and talking to other tribes on cell phones
Letters and words ricocheting from tepee to tepee
Attempting to get through somehow.

I'll never think of the family BBQ the same again. Good, clever stuff Nick.

You know Stands-With-A-Fist was the cell phone type.

Did I mention that I like this poem?
