Grapes and wrath

Deep valley
hanging heads a
wind blows dry Santa Anna like
five thousand Mexican soldiers
storming a new Alamo
no Davey Crockett, Sam Houston
or Jim Bowie just
a small token
the nice nice Condaleza Rice
and a back shootin' vice president
hiding behind a Bush
at boarder crossings

Hillside grapevines
cuttings from Italy growing new world
fat, juicy and tasteless
genetic infidels
born in laboratories
Casey Jones engineered
for one last train ride
to a slaughterhouse
along the I-5.
