In the Sprawl 

One day the truck didn’t come 
and the customers stayed 

after the food ran out 
we went into the lot with the spades 

we started to break up the asphalt 
planting the salad greens 

some tried to eat a small car 
it tasted like chicken they claimed 

we raised our first crop of lattés 
just before the Fall rains 

our cheeseburgers are coming along
we’ll have your order by May
