　　Real Life

　　by Lucie Brock-Broido

　　Soon the electrical wires will grow heavy under the snow.

　　I am thinking of fire of the possibility of fire & then moving

　　Across America in a car with a powder blue dashboard，

　　Moving to country music & the heart

　　Is torn a little more because the song says the truth.

　　Because in the thirty-six things that can happen

　　To people， men & women， women & women，

　　Men & men， in all these things the soul is bound

　　To be broken somewhere along the line，

　　That clove-scented， air-colored wanderer blushing

　　With no memory， no inkling & then proceeds

　　Across America

　　In the sap green of the tropics，

　　Toward the cadmium of a bitter sunrise to a new age，

　　At the white impossible ice hour， starving，

　　Past the electric blue of the rivers melting down，

　　Above the nude， snuff， terra cotta， maybe fire，

　　Over the tiny fragile mound of finger bones

　　Of an Indian who died standing up，

　　Through the heliotrope of a song about the sunset，

　　To live the thirty-six things

　　never comes home.
