cinderblocks (1987)

cinderbocks fuse, make walls
to create schools, teachers-books-n-eraser aroma
hitch up to pull the petridish across
the prarie horizon

we dehydrate the buildings, add patriotism
fer poptart institutions

halls shine with waxy mirror glow
while the oxen bandage their bloody hooves
with report cards
