I am the Carlsbad Caverns
emptydark
voluminous
I am the Petrified Forest
pricklybrittle
sterile
I am the Badlands
the Waste Lands
Misery Gore
Dry Gulch
Death Valley
the Hole in the Wall
No Man’s Land
the Doldrums
Three Mile Island
Boot Hill
the River Styx and
Dead Man’s Curve
Today I am Lake Wobegon
Desolation Row and
the Tallahatchie Bridge…
Tonight I’ll be a walk down
Lonely Street. Hell, I’ll be the
goddamn Heartbreak Hotel…
