          Look,

          this is not the West, this is

          the 21st Century but still as desolate

          cottonwood pollen blowing through

          abandoned mansions, the ball-bearing factory,

          strikers with their flapjack placards

          waving at a glance of traffic


          At the discount cinema, gunfighters name

          a young Cherokee guide “Look”

          because of the way she stares, because

          of the way they look at her. And everyone

          keeps their eyes on the horizon,

          Look, you’ve won a set of false teeth.


          Excerpt of Look by Sarah Messer
