A land of diesel fumes and gas flares
Cactus and longhorns
Beauty as unexpected as the occasional liberal
Live Oaks in the east
Limestone mesas to the west
Big guns and bigger egos encompassing vast stretches of mesquite
Droughts so consuming they leave cactus gasping for water,
until they drown in the next monsoon
Wildflowers blooming under border patrol trucks
Derricks rise and fall beside vast roadways nearing extinction
Swim through humidity
Gasp in heat
Texas 2012
