.. Angel Ah

Exhausted angels buzzed the desert
God wanted to find some camels
They reminded him of the olden days

They came upon Houston 
Didn’t like the location
Headed for Tulsa 

Exhausted angels soured over Oklahoma
Drawing reticent glares from one another
Half dirt and the rest sand- boring

The dustbowl blew the perspiration of drying dung
Grainy wind coated stereotypical wings
From Aryan white to trailer park chamois

Exhausted angels fell upon Arizona
Too many drugstores
God didn’t ask for painkillers

Wobbling through the Sierras
The low-pressure system wore them down
They grabbed some halos from the toy store to recharge

Exhausted angels wrapped in the Inland Empire
Even the buses look awful
The advertising is an inadvertent evil

It was a paper mache egg
Done up by a fool girl
Made the trip a ride
