Lets have ice cream at the junkyard

Lets go for a ride on one of those ponies

Lets go look at the house where the axe murderer lived

Lets just stand in the doorway and like not go in that room

Lets sneak up back of Home Depot and see if there's any free stuff

Lets go for a ride on another one of those ponies

Summers like my favorite time of year

Dirty Work.Abandoned migrant worker dormitory. [Moore Haven, Florida]"Whether they wash their clothes on any given day has to do with how tired they are when they return from the fields. If they haven't got the energy to wash them they hang their clothes anyway on the line to dry. This disheartens the camp generally because of the smell and because it causes cutters to live constantly among the dirt of the fields. It gets into their beds and their hair and their stores of food." -- Alec Wilkinson: BIG SUGAR -- Seasons in the Cane Fields of Florida: photo by Mary, 3January 2016

Caneworker Dormitory. [Moore Haven, Florida]"The cutters live in camps maintained by the growers... Some are surrounded by chain-link fences, a number have checkpoints and are off limits to outsiders." -- Alec Wilkinson: BIG SUGAR -- Seasons in the Cane Fields of Florida: photo by Mary, 3November 2015

Broken Dreams. Abandoned migrant worker dormitory. [Moore Haven, Florida]"... more than one in every three cuts himself or is cut by someone who has lost control of his knife, or wrenches his back, or suffers an attack of some kind in the heat, or steps in a rabbit hole and turns an ankle, or is bitten by fire ants, or pierces his eye or his eardrum with a sharp leaf while bending over and grabbing a stalk..." -- Alec Wilkinson: BIG SUGAR -- Seasons in the Cane Fields of Florida: photo by Mary, 4January 2016

Illustrated Wallace Stevens: Madame la Fleurie: James Romberger via The Hooded Utilitarian, 28 July 2011

Weight him down, O side-stars, with the great weightings of the end.

Seal him there. He looked in a glass of the earth and thought he lived in it.

Now, he brings all that he saw into the earth, to the waiting parent.

His crisp knowledge is devoured by her, beneath a dew.

Weight him, weight, weight him with the sleepiness of the moon.

It was only a glass because he looked in it. It was nothing he could be told.

It was a language he spoke, because he must, yet did not know.

It was a page he had found in the handbook of heartbreak.

The black fugatos are strumming the blacknesses of black . . .

The thick strings stutter the finial gutturals.

He does not lie there remembering the blue-jay, say the jay.

His grief is that his mother should feed on him, himself and what he saw,

In that distant chamber, a bearded queen, wicked in her dead light.

Wallace Stevens (1879-1955): Madame La Fleurie, 1951, from The Rock (1954)
