The poem traces the fractured body of a nation across desert corridors, Marlboro smoke, and war-pig shrapnel — moving between eros and ruin, hitchhiker indifference and an electrified, oiled-up icon ready to write. A long-form incantation on colonial violence, industrialized militias, and the fuzz of a country knelt to priest and ponzi scheme.
