Desert Scorn
So this is the New Mexico.
What crap was the old one
to make this?
In Albuquerque from
Spider Spoon Restaurant
by fake antique bus
to Old Town.
Well, well!
There's another failed actor
shot dead
in the middle of the street.
Yesterdaves with an Elvis suit,
Yuk Mexican food
and crap Indian 'art'.
A soulless new, sprawling
concrete city with
a nice mountain outside.
The clowns in the civic plaza
clearly designed and ran the town.
A fire truck driven by a dalmation
trundled around.
Repeatedly saying
"whoops - excuse me."
The singing horse
in a glass box
asking for a dollar,
was the friendliest
thing around.
No shops.
Not safe to walk
they said.
Homeless people hovered
around the outskirts.
At Roswell
aliens chose to land in 1947.
What taste can they have?
Branson is building his space port here.
No doubt to move the homeless
a little further away
so they don't frighten
the conference trade.
Here lives 'Strong City'
who know, through their Messiah
Michael that the end of the world
is to happen on 15th December 2007
at midnight.
The calculation is certain.
Just like the last one was.
Oops!
