Arizona Valentine

I tried to pick a color
but I wanted a rainbow
the odor of tears
is in the field again
the field of economics I mean
which is like trying to get
rain here in Arizona
a few sniffles the moan
of distant thunder
but no real letting-go
no bawling like a baby
which is really needed
instead we’re fed
locusts and lies by
so-called Christians
that same crowd Jesus
tossed out of the temple
who finally caught up to
and got even with him
or so they thought
