If I lived near a coast, I would be a diver exploring the silty depths for buried treasure, but in land locked Arizona, I settle for places like this, where I don't have to get my hair wet or wear an oxygen tank.
Outside there is rusty treasure to sift through,
buckets and baskets,
crates and signs,
posts and boards,
curry combs, harnesses, tools
and
tires and wires,
and
chairs and wooden bears.
Inside a maze of old railroad cars
There are more treasures
heaped and glowing
in dusty splendor.
heaped and glowing
in dusty splendor.
If you beg me, I'll tell you how to find it.
