hissing the village

cuidado: serpents slither closely by
the internet is coming to Las Trampas
electromagnetic plume so hot
thousand-year old acequia walls
are flaking off seca
at last
window to the world
interfacing elk eyes
with pinworms in Tokyo
las esposas are getting the chance
for superhighway intercourse
in Paris France
el serpiente has arrived in La Canova
a vato can amble bow-legged
across the corral
trade a '65 Chevy hubcap
for digital evidence
skip the cerveza
get your information
airline fares to the Galapagos
simulate linear acceleration
discuss, define, conclude
the full range of postmodern bias
(is technological progress an anthropological maxim?)
baile printout
brain into the night
no barriers, no boundaries
gracias a los zapatos del Santo Niño
maybe you can shovel your way
into a loop at the World Bank
save an anaconda
in your clay pockets
relentless revolutions will erupt
hissing
the New World
siempre otra vez
beckoning the village of Córdova
shedding its scales
the global village is yours
