Someday Putin Will Teach Me to Love the Heartland
After Frank O'Hara et al.
Christian Torres
Someday I’ll perceive nobility in a smallness Midwestern
which is a transcultural idiom for middle-of-the-road coffee.
Indeed, the volatile Orient seems poised to unveil
Villisca, Iowa as a sort of Arcady.
Every day at 7 sharp, it ejaculates villanelles,
Biblical knowledge of bacon.
Time alone in cornfields
like a feigned suicide in Auvers-sur-Oise
is still time spent holding a fork in a world of soup.
